2 What to expect in Madinatu Al Hujjaj (Hajj Terminal) After arrival at the Hajj Terminal the Pilgrims will be taken to the waiting hall in the airport. Please expect a waiting period of between ten to twelve hours depending on the number of Pilgrims coming at that time. When your turn comes, customs agents will call you to the booth, they will check your visa and get some information from you and then they will ask you to pick up your luggage (Your luggage will be in the same room that the custom agents are in). You will pick up your luggage and proceed to the checkpoint where they will conduct a routine search of all the bags. The trip will start with an international flight leading to Makkah. We will be supplying every member of the group with I.D. badges to make it easy to keep track of the group. It is advisable for everyone to wear these from the time of meeting in Heathrow until we leave the airport back to London in Jeddah. 1 st of August th of August 2019 Please refer to to view your flight details. (Dates and allocations to be confirmed after Ramadan), around 15th June o Check in at LEAST 4 hours before departure. o (Please note that reading and printed materials taken into Saudi will be subject to further search and research on the source and the content.

After arrival at Madinah airport the Pilgrims will be taken to the waiting hall in the airport. Please expect a waiting period of between two and four hours depending on the number of Pilgrims coming at that time. When your turn comes, customs agents will call you to the booth, they will check your visa and get some information from you and then they will ask you to pick up your luggage (your luggage will be in the same hall that the custom agents are in).

You may enter into Ihram from the hotel. It is allowed to do so before Miqat but not after that point. As such we request that you perform Ghusul (Ihram shower) at the hotel before leaving to Makkah.

3 While moving to Makkah, which is about 420 kilometres away, you should be in the prescribed state of Ihram and should continue proclaiming Talbiyah as often as you can. When you enter Makkah, you should be reciting Talbiyah with great enthusiasm and fondness. Accommodation during your stay in Makkah will be in Azaziah. The reason for the choice of using the hotel building in Azaziah over those close to the Haram is that we will spend most of our time away from the Haram and at the tents. Additionally, all the buildings surrounding the Ka abah have been demolished to allow more space for the crowds entering the mosque. The Jamarat is located only minutes walk from this location. The Haram is 4km from Azaziah and the tents are 6-7km. The only rituals performed at the Haram are the Arrival Tawaf (Tawaf Qudum) and Ifada Tawaf. Males and females will be accommodated separately in the same building in Azaziah. The number of people per room will be determined by the size of each room. We will operate on a first come first served basis (Early booking will be in a less occupancies room). You will reside at Makkah Al-Mukaramah Al-Azizyah Al-Shamalia *Sidqi Street (The way to Jamarat) *Al- Ma erefa Street *Opposite to Talha Ebn Obied Allah s School *Beside Hamzah Mosque. The hotel is situated minutes walk from Jamarat. Feel free to use the hotel during your stay in Mina at anytime. Rest and freshen-up after returning from Jamarats. After a short rest, you make your way to Al-Haram (Ka abah) to perform Tawaf Al-Qudom (Arrival Tawaf) and Sa ae. After performing Al-Tawaf and Al- Sa ae, head back to the hotel.
