Going to Hajj, Hajj Group Recommendations, Tips and Advices

[mujahideenryder]

I need some help from everyone who reads my blog and anyone else who comes across it to share hajj groups that they would recommend and any other tips.

So what are some of the hajj groups in America that are leaving from NY-NJ area or the MD-DC-VA area?

Please share your comments here:

Salamu Alekum Brother;

How are you doing?! I read your request. As The Hajj & Umra Groups Manager for the Leading Operator for Hajj and Umra in Canada, I feel that i am responsiable to explain to you the following Facts;

1- Canada has Authroized Companies in Canada, but that doesn't mean that ONLY those authorized Companies, sell Hajj...Some of those companies sell Visas to other an-authorized Companies.
2- Out of those companies, there are only 4 Companies who is allowed in the VIP (Upgraded) camp in Mina and Arafat, which is right across of Jamarat. The rest of the companies are located in Al Moaisam which is 4 to 6 KM walking from Jamarat. and very far from Al-Rahmah Mountain (Arafat).
3- Those Four companies also have their own private Ground Transportations and Catering, the rest use the Government Transportation which is always delayed and crowded. and for the food they use the Dry food.

So if you are going alone, then yes it doesn't matter..but if you are going with your wife or family, then Check these four companies first, speak wich each of them and compare the facilities and the packages.
