Morocco’s Ministry of Tourism announced to all citizens selected for the Hajj 2022 draw, supervised by tourist travel agencies, to contact their travel intermediaries in order to complete their applications as soon as possible.
The department recalls that citizens have the right to enquire about their travel contracts with their agencies, in order to clarify the terms and conditions of the arrangement.
The services offered, prices, and methods of payment to Al Barid Bank, as well as the conditions of cancellation should all be clarified to travelers and applicants to ensure that the pilgrimage takes place in the best conditions.
The pilgrim must ensure that the total amount specified by the agency and mentioned in the contract signed with the agency corresponds to the amount he will pay at the counters of Al Barid Bank.
Each pilgrim is required to pay the full amount of the pilgrimage in a single payment.
Earlier last week, the Habous and Islamic Affairs Ministry announced new conditions for Moroccans who want to perform Hajj in 1443/2022.
The Ministry stated that people allowed to perform Hajj must be aged under 65, fixing the birth date limit to August 1957.
It is also required that people be fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 vaccine while submitting a negative PCR test dating less than 72 hours before departure.
Additionally, only 45% of the normal quota of Moroccans will be allowed, the equivalent of a total of 15,392 Hajj performers, including 10,186 under the supervision of the ministry, and 5,206 under the supervision of tourist travel agencies.
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia said it will permit one million Muslims from inside and outside the country to be part of this year’s hajj pilgramage, after two years of restricted access.
The lists of travel agencies authorized to organize the Hajj 2022 operation are available on the Ministry’s official portal www.tourisme.gov.ma/.
