Muslims around the UK faced having their travel plans disrupted after a last-minute change to rules in Saudi Arabia meant they may not get there in time.
The chaos came after Saudi Arabia announced that only one million people will be allowed to attend Hajj, both from the country itself and from overseas.
A new booking system called Motawif was created by the Saudi government, after it announced pilgrims from Europe, the US and Australia could no longer be booked through travel agencies.
