At this year's Hajj a little more than three thousand people will be pilgrims from Azerbaijan.

This amount includes meals, accommodation and other expenses.
The pilgrims will return to Baku from the airport of Medina.
Along with the pilgrims, doctors will go on hajj. They will monitor the health of the pilgrims and create a small on-site medical center.
