The pilgrim quota allocated for the Hajj pilgrimage in Azerbaijan this year is about to be filled, the Caucasian Muslims Office (CMO) told APA.

Currently, 90 places are vacant. 30 places from cheaper option are vacant, 60 places from expensive option.

The quote is 2,400.  The deadline for submission of documents is the end of this month.

Note that, submission of documents this year began on March 11. The Hajj pilgrimage from Azerbaijan will begin on September 11. Pilgrims are offered two forms of pilgrimage as usual. One option, which offers more prestigious hotels where guests can have much more expensive meals and stay in four-bed rooms, will coast AZN 5,750. The other, which offers relatively cheaper hotels with six-bed rooms, will coast AZN 4,700. The documents required of pilgrims include the passport, a copy of the national identification card, 4 3x4 photos and a health certificate. Submission of documents can only be done at the CMO. And because of conflicts in the Middle East, the pilgrimage process will take place via air only. The flights will be carried out by AZAL. The payment for Hajj pilgrimage will be made in US dollar.
