As you may be aware, important changes have been made to the way Hajj is organised for UK pilgrims. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has appointed a number of local companies in Saudi Arabia that will be authorised to organise Hajj for pilgrims travelling from the UK (and other Western countries). Prospective pilgrims will have to book a package supplied by one of the authorised companies via an online portal (Nusuk). Therefore, packages will not be sold by any UK company directly nor will payments be collected by them.
To enhance the experience of the pilgrims, provide a greater level of support and to address some of the challenges faced by pilgrims in the past, UK companies will be permitted to work with one of the authorised Saudi companies. Their role will primarily be to promote packages and to provide support to the pilgrims.
For the last two years we partnered with one of the authorised Saudi Hajj providers, Al-Bait Guests, as strategic partners, and we are delighted to say that our partnership has worked very well, Alhamdulillah! We are intending to build on the success of previous years and we are confident that Hajj 2025 will not only be enjoyable and memorable but also deeply spiritually uplifting.
We are pleased to announce that Hajj packages are expected to be released in early 2025. To help you plan ahead—especially if you need to arrange annual leave—below are the tentative dates for the packages that we are hoping to lead:
