الحج registration is managed through either the Sunni Endowments Council or the Jaafari Endowments Council, depending on the الحاج's denomination. Applications are submitted through licensed الحج operators. Valid passport, vaccination certificates, and medical report are required.
Licensed الحج campaigns operate under the supervision of the endowments councils. The ministry publishes authorized operators each year. Both Sunni and Shia operators offer packages tailored to their respective communities.
Bahrain's proximity to المملكة العربية السعودية via the King Fahd Causeway (25 km bridge) makes overland الحج travel very convenient. Many Bahraini الحجاج drive to مكة in approximately 6 hours. The government provides subsidies for first-time Bahraini الحاج citizens. Both Sunni and Shia communities have dedicated الحج organizations.
