A total of 8000 piligrims are going to make the sacred Mecca tour in 25 flights till 9th October.  

It is the belief of the Muslims that an able person physically fit and financially sound person should visit Mecca at least once in his/her life time during the time of Hajj pilgrimage i.e., 8th to 12th Dhu al-Hijjah in the last month of the year as per Islamic calendar.

Hajj is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslims and their submission to God (Allah).
