Frequently asked questions
Hajj 2027 is approximately mid-May 2027 (8-13 Dhul-Hijjah 1448 AH). The exact Gregorian dates depend on the Saudi Moon-Sighting Committee announcement in April 2027. Day of Arafah falls on 9 Dhul-Hijjah; Eid al-Adha begins on 10 Dhul-Hijjah.
UAE Hajj packages are bundled by operators (Nusuk-authorized travel agencies) and prices vary by booking window, dates, operator, hotel grade within the tier, and Saudi authority allocations. The ranges shown reflect typical 2026-2027 UAE market data. Always get live quotes from licensed operators before budgeting precisely.
Nusuk (hajj.nusuk.sa) is the official Saudi government Hajj booking platform launched in 2023. All Hajj packages from the UAE must go through Nusuk-authorized travel operators. Booking outside this system is illegal and will result in being denied entry to the Hajj sites. Always verify your operator is Nusuk-authorized.
Valid passport (minimum 6 months validity after Hajj return), UAE residence visa, Emirates ID, MOH Hajj health card (vaccinations: meningitis ACWY mandatory, others recommended), 4 passport-size photos, marriage certificate if travelling with spouse. Women under 45 need a Mahram (male guardian) per Saudi regulations.
Hajj visa fees, Saudi government permit (Tasreeh), Hadi/Dam (animal sacrifice during Eid al-Adha, typically SAR 600-900 ≈ AED 590-880 per sheep), Madinah Ziyarah fees, and various administrative charges. Most UAE operators bundle these into the package price.
No. Hajj packages from UAE operators are issued against UAE residence visas. Family members from outside UAE must book Hajj from their own country of residence through a Nusuk-authorized operator there. This applies even if you're paying for them from your UAE account.
