Muslims around the world are already getting ready to go on the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, which will be in November this year. Mecca and Medina, the two sacred Muslim places, attract some two million visitors around the Hajj annually. But over the years, prices for the pilgrimage have been climbing prohibitively. For the second consecutive year, the European Salon for the Hajj and the Umrah in Paris gives prospective pilgrims an opportunity to compare prices, talk to consumer associations, and become better prepared for their trip to Mecca.
