Every day, from 2 to 4 September two air flights will carry 350 pilgrims to Hajj. The total number of Azerbaijani pilgrims will be 1,050 this year. The flights will start daily at 08.00 and 18.30.
Accommodation and meals during Hajj in 4-bed hotel rooms will cost the pilgrims 4,500 dollars. In 6-bed rooms it will cost 3,500 USD.
In the past year there were 2,300 pilgrims from Azerbaijan. The reason for reducing the number of pilgrims is the economic crisis.
* The Hajj is a Muslim pilgrimage to holy Mecca. It is committed at the beginning of the 12th month of the Muslim lunar calendar - Dhu al-Hijjah. Every Muslim, who has reached the age of majority and has the opportunity to do so, is supposed to make a Hajj trip at least once in his or her life. -06D--
