The Islamic Council of Mozambique (CIMO) coordinates الحج registration with licensed operators. Pilgrims apply through CIMO provincial offices. Requirements include valid passport (6+ months), vaccination certificates (yellow fever, meningitis ACWY), medical examination, and full payment.
CIMO works with licensed travel operators to organize الحج packages. The council publishes approved operators annually. Due to limited direct flight options, packages typically include connecting flights through East African or South African hubs.
Mozambique has approximately 18% Muslim population, concentrated in the northern coastal provinces. The Shafi'i school predominates. Portuguese is the official language — الحجاج should prepare for Arabic-language environments. Mozambican meticais are not easily exchanged abroad — الحجاج should carry USD. The Muslim community in northern Mozambique has historical ties to Swahili and Arab trading cultures.
