Under the regulations, rules and procedures governing the 1448 AH/2027 tourist Hajj season, approved by Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy, the tourist Hajj lottery is scheduled to be held and its results announced tomorrow, Wednesday, 30 September.
The results will be published on the Unified Egyptian Hajj Portal https://www.hij.moi.gov.eg, and applicants will be able to check them using their national ID number.
A senior source at the Higher Committee for Hajj and Umrah told Travel Yalla News that the tourist Hajj lottery saw strong demand from citizens wishing to perform Hajj through tour companies, with about 150,000 applicants after registration for the lottery closed on the Unified Egyptian Hajj Portal on 27 September. They will compete for about 30,000 visas allocated to tourist Hajj programs at various levels, the source said, noting that the number of applicants was markedly higher than last year's figure of about 114,000.
