How does Hajj work from Algeria?
Hajj has fixed dates (month of Dhu al-Hijjah) and a national quota managed by ONPO — access is usually via a draw, with age/health conditions. Organization (visa, transport, Mina/Arafat accommodation) is via licensed operators. ⚠️ Distinct from Umrah (which is year-round). OuiVisa refers you to a licensed agency.
