A campaign for the awareness of the Tunisians who are planning to perform hajj this year has started in the various parts of Tunisia. The awareness campaign, which is supervised by a number of ulema (Muslim scholars), includes information about the hajj rituals and the Holy Places. The Tunisian pilgrims will be provided with booklets containing topics pertaining to hajj rituals as well as maps of the Holy Places. About 9000 Tunisians are expected to perform hajj this year.
