The sources indicated that a total of 62 caravans have been nominated to participate in Hajj for the upcoming season. Each caravan is required to have a minimum of 50 registered pilgrims, and the maximum cap for registration is set at 250 pilgrims. For combined campaigns organized by companies, the numbers will be doubled, allowing for a maximum of 600 pilgrims for doubles and triples combined, and 800 pilgrims for quartets.<\/p>\n

The registration for groups will be based on kinship for the upcoming Hajj season, with a focus on the first and second degrees of kinship within the group.<\/p>\n
The registration period will be ample when the central platform for registering pilgrims is made available, extended from one month to forty days.

Preference will be given to groups composed of relatives, and the sorting will be based on the eldest member.
