Yes, The Manasik Team will accompany the Muhrims from Dublin. We also have a Saudi team that joins us once we arrive in Saudi Arabia which has years of experience in organising Hajj.

One of the strengths of our package is that we offer extensive guidance before and during the Hajj tour. We have qualified scholars accompanying us during the hajj trip. A few weeks before departure we arrange a pre-Hajj seminar where guidance is given as well as practical advice for pilgrims. Participants also have an opportunity to ask questions during this one-day programme. We hold regular lectures throughout the tour. Qualified religious guides accompany the tour throughout, offering guidance and answering questions.

We require a completed booking form for each person – booking forms are available upon request. You can email us and we can send it to you via email or address.

You can get a visa but you must have a valid permanent residency with multiple re-entry visa for up to 6 months.

We only launch our package and publish the brochure once the hotel allocations have been confirmed – all the hotels as advertised are guaranteed.

A month before the hajj trip – our capacity is limited once we sell the last seat for a particular package, we will not be able to accept any further bookings. Our packages are very popular and sell very quickly – we therefore recommend that you book as soon as possible.

Our tents are based at the European section which is roughly 45 minutes away from the jamaraat.
