For the 1429H Hajj Season

Assalamu Alikum Wa Rahmat Allah

Based on experience in past Hajj seasons, the Ministry of Hajj is well aware of the problems of lost luggage left behind by pilgrims on their departure from the Kingdom, often because of excess baggage charges.

In an effort to assist pilgrims in recovering their luggage and personal belongings which may be of special value to them, the Ministry of Hajj would like all Hajj Missions and Hajj Travel Agencies to inform all pilgrims of the absolute necessity of fully labelling all their luggage by placing stickers both on the outside and inside of luggage showing the Pilgrim Name, Nationality, Passport Number, Air Carrier and Flight Number.

In addition, the Ministry would like all individuals in Hajj Missions and Hajj Travel Agencies concerned with this issue to understand the importance of giving their full cooperation to the Ministry of Hajj by accepting the luggage of the pilgrims for whom they are responsible.
