A Hajj passport was a special passport used only for entry into Saudi Arabia for the purpose of performing hajj (Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca and adjacent sites). This passport is no longer used, as Saudi Authorities have required ordinary passports since 2009.[1][2]

Special hajj passport issued on November 2nd, 1905 by Imperial Russian authorities to a Tatar man for a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina.
