Hajj Guide: Tunisia

The Ministry of Religious Affairs manages হজ্জ registration through an annual lottery system due to high demand. Pilgrims register at local government offices. Requirements include valid passport (6+ months), medical examination, vaccination certificates, and proof of financial means.

The Tunisian government manages হজ্জ through the Office National du Hadj et de la Omra. Both government-organized and licensed private operators offer packages. The ministry website lists approved travel agencies each season.

Tunisia follows the Maliki school of jurisprudence predominantly. The Tunisian হজ্জ mission provides French and Arabic-speaking guides. Registration typically opens 4-5 months before হজ্জ. Tunisian হাজীগণ should prepare for the significant temperature difference between Tunisia and Saudi Arabia during summer months.
