Dear brothers and sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu.
By the Grace of Allah SWT, as we draw closer to implementing our intentions for Hajj this year, most brothers and sisters are starting to look for information online.
The primary thoughts are usually around cost and services, although in our experiences, these are definitely not the only measures for planning a successful Hajj. There are other critical factors that we will also expand on.
Nonetheless, the package that we are currently putting together for New Zealand and Fiji residents is as follows:
• Hotel in Makkah by the Haram on the first row e.g. Clock Tower, Millenium etc.
• No Aziziyah or Shishah stay (these are 6 Km from the Haram)
• Full 40 salaat in Madinah
• Around 23 days in Saudi – This can be shortened as per individual customer needs
• VIP services and facilities in Mina during the Hajj days
• Fly into Makkah and fly out of Madinah or vice versa
• Half board (Breakfast and dinner in hotels and full board in (Mina)
• Transfers to and from Airports, Hajj etc. as per usual
• Preliminary Itinerary will be posted on our website by the end of December.
We should Insha Allah be able to provide final full details with pricing around the end of January 2019. Package price last year was NZD 10 560.
As for the other critical factors, they are how well you are prepared psychologically, spiritually and physically. We are planning to run a series of articles and blogs on our website in order to get you and ourselves well prepared.
We will also manage expectations through online communication to you regarding changes we have made since last year to improve our services and also what you should be prepared for.
May Allah SWT accept all our efforts.
Wassalam
Mohammad Rasheed
