Important instructions issued for Pakistani Hajj pilgrims

The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has issued important instructions for Pakistani pilgrims travelling for Hajj.

The ministry has also advised the pilgrims to keep all important items and documents with them during the journey to avoid any problems while performing Hajj.

According to the officials, pilgrims should always carry their Nusuk card, Pakistani Hajj card, and identification band. These are some of the items that are most important for identification, accommodation, and travel matters.

The ministry also said that pilgrims will receive free Saudi SIM cards after arriving in Saudi Arabia so they can stay in contact with their families.
