Frequently asked questions
When does Hajj take place?
Hajj takes place during the first two weeks of Dhu al-Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar, with the Day of Arafah (9 Dhu al-Hijjah) as its central rite.
Is this the same as booking a Hajj package?
No — this is a free countdown tool only. UmrahPackages.lk focuses on Umrah packages specifically; for Hajj travel, you'd want to check with agencies directly about their Hajj-specific offerings and the official Hajj quota process.
Why does the date shift every year?
Because the Hijri calendar is lunar, Dhu al-Hijjah — and so Hajj — moves about 10-11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
