The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs manages الحج registration for Kuwaiti citizens and residents. Applications are submitted through licensed الحج campaigns (hamlat). Requirements include valid passport, vaccination records, and biometric data submission.
الحج campaigns (hamlat) are licensed by the Ministry of Awqaf. Each campaign is led by an experienced mutawwif. The ministry publishes a list of approved campaigns annually with package details and pricing.
Kuwait has a well-organized الحج campaign system with government oversight. The government subsidizes costs for first-time Kuwaiti الحجاج. Overland travel by bus through المملكة العربية السعودية is popular and takes approximately 8 hours. Kuwait's الحج missions provide medical teams that accompany الحاج groups.
