About Amir al-Hajj

The Amir al-Hajj is the position and title given to the leader of the annual Hajj pilgrim caravan by successive Muslim empires, from the 7th century until the 20th century and by various modern governments. Since the Abbasid period, there were two main caravans, one departing from Damascus and the other from Cairo. Each of the two annual caravans was assigned an amir al-hajj whose main duties were securing funds and provisions for the caravan, and protecting it along the desert route to the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina in the Hejaz.
