Saudi Arabia has started registration for the aspirants of Hajj, reported 24News HD TV channel on Monday. 

According to the Hajj policy, only Saudi citizens and foreigners living in the kingdom can perform Hajj this year same as the previous year. Saudi Arabia announced three packages for the pilgrims, allowing the women to register for Hajj without a male guardian (mahram).
