Hajj Durations and Costs
Hajj pilgrims who visit the Kaaba before Eid al-Adha and perform their obligatory and mandatory acts are referred to as pilgrims from the first day of Eid al-Adha. In hajj tours, which consist of two different options, short-term and long-term, the long-term hajj can last from 30 to 45 days, while in short-term hajj programs, this period varies between 15 and 20 days. There is no special procedure for those who want to renew their hajj registration. The Presidency of Religious Affairs automatically performs this transaction. To register for Hajj, one must first participate in the lottery organized by the Presidency of Religious Affairs. Those whose names are drawn in the preliminary registration process are entitled to register definitively.
Is it Possible to Go for Both Hajj and Umrah?
Those who register definitively by paying the hajj fees to perform the hajj pilgrimage can also register for Umrah. In short, going for Hajj does not constitute any obstacle to going for Umrah in the same year. Those who are eligible for definitive registration and wish to visit Mecca for Umrah at any time of the year can carry out their transactions through agencies such as online companies on websites.
In Hajj accommodation options, it is possible to choose a room and hotel. Since the Hajj period takes place during a very busy time, once a person makes a choice of accommodation, they cannot change the hotel they will stay in again. In order to prevent problems that may arise from the intensity, it is important to consult a travel agency and make reservations in advance before going for Hajj.
