Pilgrims will be followed by direct flights from 10 regional airports of our country.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah of Saudi Arabia announced that Hajj is not possible without a Hajj visa and warned against fake Hajj companies.

The statement of the Supreme Council of Senior Scholars of Saudi Arabia that it is not permissible to perform Hajj without permission was also published. 

According to him, "the harm of going on Hajj without obtaining a special permit is not limited to itself, but also harms other pilgrims, creates traffic jams, negatively affects the health and life of others, and the services provided by officials." is transfer. According to Sharia rules, the sin of harming others is greater than harming oneself," the statement reads.

According to the rules established by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the main condition for performing Hajj for foreign citizens is to have a Hajj visa. Performing Hajj with all other types of visas (Umrah, Tourism, Business, Pilgrimage, etc.) is strictly prohibited and punishable according to Saudi law.

Therefore, to perform the Hajj, you must have a "Hajj-2024" visa.

But despite this, some individuals and tour operators publish their advertisements through social networks. In particular, attractive announcements such as "hajj without queuing", "perform hajj at low prices", "hajj performance is fully guaranteed" can be seen in the distributed advertisements. Some of our compatriots, who intend to go on a blessed trip, are deceived by such advertisements. They are wasting their money and time.

Be careful! More than 150,000 people who came to Saudi Arabia in 2023 from all over the world on tourist, business and other visas were caught, served prison terms, fined and deported from Saudi Arabia for 10 years.

We would like to remind here: "Hajj" event for citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan is carried out only by the Office of Muslims of Uzbekistan. 

Other organizations, in particular, tourist organizations and others, are not allowed to engage in Hajj activities and are prohibited by legislation.

Dear compatriots, be careful, do not be deceived by fraudsters!
