UAE Opens Registration for Hajj 2024 – How To Apply

United Arab Emirates (UAE) has opened registration for Hajj 2024, as announced by authorities on Tuesday. The General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (Awqaf) emphasized the limited timeframe, with registration available until December 21 and advised prospective pilgrims to secure their slots in advance.

Saudi Arabia is gearing up to host pilgrims at Islam’s holiest sites in June of the coming year, expecting the first batch to arrive in May, marking a significant event in the Islamic calendar.

3. Log in using your UAE Pass (digital ID).

These operators offer all-inclusive Haj packages, covering visa expenses, accommodations, transportation, and meals, ensuring a seamless and spiritually fulfilling pilgrimage experience.
