Hajj Procedure

[portage1]

You have to buy a HAJJ package through HAJJ GROUP....These people are real slick...thats thier business, they will promise every thing but wont deliver, Thanks GOD I went through HAJJ Group from USA...I met quite a few people from Pakistan and they told me very bad story about HAJJ grops from Pakistan...You have to ask around from the people who did the HAJJ in past 2 years and ask their experience, I stayed at MACCA PC...its right inside the HARUM...Every thing was awsome...food was awesome..service was awsome and you can pray on 3rd floor and they have Video Camera on top of the roof and you see people circling around KABA from your room on close circuit TV ....All I say so with a group who got a good reputation. May little expensive but its worth it.

dont worry about bus or any thing, now they got train line open

Camps for Pakistani and Indian hajis are usually closer to Jamarrah, so there's less need for panic.

You are wrong here..... The closets tents are American Tents right in front of Al-Baik

@ portage1.

I said they're close, i never said they are in front of the jammarrah.

The package you're talking about probably equals more than a mill in Rs. Of course, if someone pays that much, he would expect a royal treatment, and the services to be THE FINEST.

That was very detailed reply from you and thank you very much for that, highly appreciate that and JazakAllah khair.
I think maktab number he told was 11, they will not provide food except for complimentary food for 5 days during during the major days i guess. Animal for slaughter is not included. Didn't know about the buses neither he told about any such thing. So Al-Khair provide food within the package? I was told that its better not to include food in the package as you're bound to eat at particular times.
I will visit Al-Khair's office InshAllah

Alkhair provide food within package. Breakfast in Makkah is usually butter, jam, bread, tea, and two times meals. Also unlimited bevegares and juices are provided. In Madina breakfast is buffet provided by the hotel(Usually their hotel in Madina is movenpick anwar almadina, which is one of the best), which has large variety(fruits, milk, juice, 3-4 types dishes, different kinds of bread and egg omelette they will fry for u free of cost).
And to times meal also in madina. I will suggest that u take package which includes food. It will save u from lot of hassle and wasting time.
Alkhair hotel in makkah is usually Makkah tower(makkah hilton) which is again one of the best.
Abt buses u should ask him as they are very very important, which u will realize when u go for hajj, so better to take package which have private buses during days of hajj.

Bhai not all tents for pakistanis and indians are close to jamarat. Many of the tents are located in new mina which area is acually of muzdalifah and very far away from jamarat.
i have map of mina as we used get it every year from muallim when we were haj operators

[shaikh229]

Yes if train is operated for all hajis this year then i guess no need to worry abt buses, but u shud confirm from the agent ur buying package from.

One more thing i will say tht when u buy haj package, they will tell u to sign contract. U shud carefully read tht contract to judge wat they told u verbally and wats written in the contract

[shaikh229]

My friend as u can see in the map., the areas which have yellow colour are all for south asian countriess(pakistan, india, bangladesh). U can see how far away they are from jamarat and not all are near jamarat. As u can see many are also located on edge of mina with jamarat on the other edge, so u can judge urself.

@ Shaikh229. That was indeed detailed and does look authentic.

s55, brother you now have ample info for your travel. Great thing about food being in the package is that you don't have to worry about it when you get back to your room after too much exertion during Tawaaf and other rituals. Suit yourself in any case. From the map shown above, its quite evident that maktab11 is nearer to Jamarrah, and train root b/w Arafat and Muzdalifah is a sure delight and relief for Haji's. Remember all of us in your prayers :).

[portage1]

shaikh229.... very good info Sir, @S55 food is very cheap.... Aftetr spending all day in Masjid food will be the last thing on your mind, drink water, dont drink black drinks, like coffee, tea, coke, pepsi when ever you drink black liquid you have to go to bathroom often, Wadu takes long time, long lines, make sure what ever you eat....make sure food is well cooked, Avoid food that upset your tummy, I been there 3 times, during Hajj my diet fruit and plenty of Zum Zum water all day long, Dont stress your self, every thing be fine INSHALLAH.......

PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL PAKWEELERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND PLEASE PRAY ALL MUSLIMS GIRLS MARRY MUSLIMS GUYS...AMEEN

Thanks everyone for the valuable information specially @shaikh229, I highly appreciate that and JazakAllah for all the contributors. Unfortunately we couldn't manage to go for Hajj this year due many factors but we're are planning for Ummrah InshAllah.
