WHAT YOU NEED FOR HAJJ TOURS
Pay Attention to Passport Validity
The Hajj pilgrimage, which every Muslim with sufficient financial means must fulfill, is made much easier through tour companies. Tour companies that handle all procedures for you take care of all details, from accommodation to in-city transfers. Those traveling for Hajj tours must pay attention to some rules. Tour companies, for example, will remind travelers of what to do and not to do at certain intervals.
Those Traveling with Children
Those who wish to go to Mecca to perform the Hajj pilgrimage must pay attention to their passport validity. You must have a valid passport at least eight months before departure. Hajj pilgrims with invalid passports cannot enter Mecca. You may also need to carry a card proving you have had the meningitis vaccination before you go. Children are also included in the pricing policy of tour programs. Those who wish to participate in Hajj tours with their children must pay accommodation and visa fees for the children as well. Flight and visa expenses are also paid for infants. A photograph of every person traveling is required. The application form required for Hajj must be completed and signed by the applicant. Visa applications should only be made through Hajj and service representatives. In particular, children over one year of age must have their photographs affixed to their passports and approved by the relevant authority. Their photographs must also be attached to the application form. These procedures are followed by the tour company to ensure the Hajj visit proceeds smoothly.
