Information about registering those wishing to perform Hajj interest Dagestani residents

This year, Saudi Arabia will accept foreigners as pilgrims; and the "Marva-Tour" company has already begun the pre-registration process of the Dagestanis wishing to make the Hajj.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in 2020 and 2021, authorities of Saudi Arabia announced the cancellation of pilgrimages from other countries to Muslim shrines in Mecca and Medina due to the coronavirus.

This year, unlike the two previous pandemic ones, a million pilgrims will be able to perform the Hajj, which is 40% of the amount of previous years, the Dagestani Ministry of National Policy and Religious Matters has announced on its website.

Since there is little time left to organize the 2022 Hajj campaign, the "Marva-Tour" has launched a pre-registration of potential pilgrims from among Dagestanis, the ministry has informed, adding that all those wishing to perform the Hajj must be vaccinated in a timely manner.

In their comments to the messages posted on the above Telegram channel, users are asking about office working hours, prices, travel routes, and the paperwork needed.

"How much will it cost?" the user Ramadan asks, in particular. "There are no final prices for the Hajj yet," the "Marva-Tour" has answered. "I don't think the cost will be more than 300,000 [roubles]," the user Akhmed Magomedov has suggested.
