Here's a Step-by-Step Guide on How to Register for Hajj 2024

The UAE has launched its registration platform for Hajj 2024, as declared by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (Awqaf) on Tuesday. This year’s registration window will remain open only until December 21, with limited slots available, urging prospective pilgrims to secure their spots in advance for the pilgrimage set to take place in June next year.

UAE Hajj 2024 Registration Process

Awqaf has detailed a step-by-step guide for UAE residents aiming to register for Hajj 2024. Here’s what to do:

1. Ensure you have the most recent version of the Awqaf UAE smart app downloaded.
2. Open the app and select the 'Hajj permit service' from the options.
3. Use your UAE Pass (digital ID) to log in securely.
4. After logging in, locate the 'register' icon within the displayed steps and tap to start the registration process.
5. Verify the accuracy of all personal information provided before submission.

Hajj Permits: Emiratis and Expatriates

Typically, Hajj permits in the UAE are issued exclusively for Emiratis. Expatriates, however, need to navigate the quota and procedures stipulated by their respective home countries to participate in the pilgrimage.

Licensed Tour Operators for Hajj Packages

Pilgrims planning for Hajj usually engage licensed tour operators, listed on the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments' website. These operators offer comprehensive Hajj packages inclusive of visa expenses, accommodations, transportation, and meals, ensuring a hassle-free pilgrimage experience.
