Haj 2012

[Tiburon]

Salams all,

Hi somalinet family. Could you'll please advise me on Haj 2012 optimum time to travel, the necessary rituals to undertake while here and all others needed information while in Saudi Arabia?
I intend to take my elderly parents to Haj this year and very seriously contemplating it. Am I too late to start the process? Will traveling between one week ahead and return one week after be sufficient enough? Any particular rituals to avoid and may possibly pose danger to elders I should know about? I must admit I am way too inept in this as it will be my first trip to Saudi Arabia and your detailed useful input is much appreciated. Mahadsanidiin all and may you all have a good day ahead of you'll. Ciao

I have some of my friends go there taking their elderly.

the stories they told me, I did not like them to be honest with u

it was pretty voilent stories!

That is not the way it should be.

that is on Saudi Arabia for not giving enough attention to the issue.

so be prepared!

my lil 2 cents.

I dont know the other process.

contact your local mosque.

most hajj packages are already sold out. if you book too late, you might end up paying too much. call ur local mosque first...

Thanks guys but please be a little more specific about the dates as so I may prepare myself in advance and even use if all other measures fail a uae semi sheikh connection to get a package. Your feed backs are much appreciated.

Everyone in the world Has to come with one, maybe not if You're coming from the Khaleej though.

we have an option , if you want to go with 7amlah, normally is more convenience. everything is arranged for you. but i never personally tried one. people go with 7amlah on buses and it cost you like $500.
