The management of Hajj is set to enter a new era with the introduction of a mobile app, prepaid card services, and enhanced roaming facilities aimed at making the pilgrimage experience smoother and more convenient for Bangladeshi pilgrims this year.
The government will launch the new mobile application, ‘Labbayk’, alongside a Hajj prepaid card and special mobile roaming packages for pilgrims.
The ‘Labbayk’ app will provide various features including emergency support, flight information, location tracking, accommodation information, and religious resources.
Prepaid cards will be issued with reduced transaction fees, allowing pilgrims to load a maximum of US$1,200 on the card, which can be used for withdrawals and payments in Saudi Arabia.
