DZWatch can report that Algeria's National Office for Hajj and Umrah (ONHO) has issued a series of vital recommendations for pilgrims returning to the homeland following the successful completion of the Hajj season 1447H\/2026. These guidelines are designed to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey back for all Algerian pilgrims.<\/p>\n
The ONHO specifically advises all returning pilgrims to prepare their luggage at least 48 hours prior to their scheduled flight. Furthermore, pilgrims are instructed to be present at their respective hotels at the designated time to complete the weighing and collection procedures for their bags by specialized teams. This streamlined process is part of the ongoing "Hajj Without a Bag" initiative, aimed at enhancing efficiency.<\/p>\n
Regarding baggage allowances, the National Office for Hajj and Umrah has stipulated that each pilgrim is permitted two checked bags, with the weight of each not exceeding 23 kilograms. Additionally, one piece of hand luggage is allowed, which must not exceed 10 kilograms. A critical directive emphasizes the prohibition of placing Zamzam water containers inside any checked luggage. Instead, pilgrims are permitted to carry one single 5-liter container of Zamzam water separately.<\/p>\n
The ONHO underscored that the active cooperation of pilgrims is paramount in facilitating the return journey and ensuring the seamless execution of all departure procedures, thereby contributing to a pleasant conclusion of their spiritual voyage.<\/p>\n
