The General Authority for Islamic Affairs, Endowments, and Zakat (Awqaf) has declared that registration for Haj 2025 will commence from the start of September 2024. This registration process will be effective only if the applications for the pilgrimage are submitted via the Authority’s smart application and website. The conclusion of this year's Haj occurred on Tuesday, June 18, with the third day of the symbolic stoning of the devil. In general, the UAE only grants Haj permits to Emiratis, while expatriates must utilize the quota from their respective countries and adhere to their national procedures. Typically, pilgrims undertake the journey through authorized tour operators, whose details can be found on the website of the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments. These operators provide comprehensive Haj packages that include visa expenses, accommodation, transportation, and meals.
