Each year Muslims from all over the world gather in Makah to perform Hajj between 8th and 12th Du-Ul-Hijjah in order to show their solidarity and submission to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. The pilgrimage to Makah is one of the five main pillars of Islam, so it is compulsory for every Muslim to perform Hajj at least once in their life. However, one should be financially and physically able to perform this religious duty, but that’s not all what you need to make this endeavour. Pilgrims also need to make sure that they have acquired the services of a reliable travel agency for the journey otherwise it can prove a very daunting experience for them.
