Hajj Safe expands globally in 2016

The Hajj Safe brand is now global in the travel, Hajj and umrah market, the company has announced in a blog post at the start of 2017. Hajj Safe products are available in over 40 cities around the world, and that number is growing. Local retailer lists on the website include those from Indonesia, Malaysia and the UAE.

"Hajj Safe has provided products and services to over 100,000 people to date and is looking forward to helping a whole lot more. Our aim has no limit- we simply want to help as many people as possible.," stated the company in the post.

Two new products were introduced last year, while others were improved. The Muzdalifah Stone Bag, a drawstring bag with a capacity of 70 pebbles* and instructions on the ritual of the stoning of the devil. The bag is so called as Hajj pilgrims stay overnight at Muzdalifah as part of the pilgrimage, and pick up pebbles of a prescribed size* to be thrown later at three pillars collectively called Jamaraat as part of the stoning ritual.

"We sold out within two weeks and were inundated with emails asking for more from business clients and customers on our website," Hajj Safe says.

Hajj Safe also introduced unscented, alcohol-free wet wipes for travel purposes. Each resealable pack contains 10 wipes and are sold in packs of four. No animal ingredients are used in the manufacture of the wipes.

Also new in 2016 was a revamped Hajj & Umrah Health and Safety Guide, provided free on registration. The guide now has more illustrations, and is available in PDF format.

The Hajj Safe floor display, for those retailing Hajj Safe products, was redesigned as well. The new design features a 7” LCD display which plays animations and videos to illustrate the benefits of Hajj Safe products.


Another coup for Hajj Safe is the production of an amenity kit for Qatar Airways that includes the wet wipes. The company is also supplying Turkish Airlines with Hajj Safe unscented liquid soap as Hajj & Umrah Health and Safety Guidepart of a three-year contract signed in 2015.

*One Hajj ritual involves picking up pebbles variously described as being the size of a bean, a chickpea or a pea for throwing at three pillars in Mina in KSA. Pebbles are usually gathered at Muzdalifah or in places after Muzdalifah but not before that. Seven pebbles are to be thrown into the basin surrounding each of three pillars over the course of two or three days. Forty-nine pebbles are gathered if staying two days, with the seven extra pebbles being for 'missed' throws - throws that hit the pillar are not counted, for instance, and pebbles thrown by other pilgrims should not be used for the throws. Seventy pebbles, instead of 63, are likewise gathered for those who stone the pillars over three days. This ritual symbolically distances the pilgrim from evil.
