As a Pakistani passport holder, it's important to follow the correct process and meet all deadlines to ensure you are eligible for Hajj 2026. Below is a complete step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process with clarity.
Step 1: Pre-Registration (June 27 – July 9, 2025)
All Pakistani passport holders — whether residing in Pakistan or abroad — must register with the Ministry of Religious Affairs or through approved private Hajj operators.
Requirements
- •Valid Pakistani passport (valid through January 2027)
- •Original CNIC
- •Recent passport-size photo
- •Mobile number and emergency contact
- •NADRA biometric verification
Step 2: Scheme Selection – Government vs. Private
After registration, you'll choose between two schemes:
- •Government Scheme applicants are entered into a draw (Qura Andazi)
- •Private Hajj is first-come, first-served — no ballot required
- •Private schemes offer custom packages, flexible pricing, and often better accommodations
Dar El Mecca offers premium and economy Hajj packages for Pakistanis in Pakistan, the U.S., and globally — including Double, Triple, Quad rooms, and Platinum-level VIP packages.
Step 3: Payment & Documentation (Jan–Feb 2026)
Once selected (Government draw or private acceptance), you'll need to:
- •Submit full payment for your selected Hajj package
- •Original passport
- •Vaccination certificate (Meningitis ACWY)
- •Medical fitness form
- •Travel insurance (required by some operators)
Step 4: Travel to Saudi Arabia (~May 20–23, 2026)
Flights usually depart 5–7 days before Hajj rites begin. Upon arrival, your operator arranges:
- •Immigration clearance
- •Transport to Makkah or Madinah
- •Hotel check-in
- •Ziyarah tours (optional)
Step 5: Perform Hajj Rites (~May 25–30, 2026)
- •Ihram wearing and intention (niyyah)
- •Tawaf and Sa'i
- •Wuqoof-e-Arafah
- •Muzdalifah stay
- •Jamarat stoning ritual
- •Qurbani (sacrifice)
- •Final Tawaf
