There's a range of dates where entry is allowed into the country, though, and many pilgrims might already be there -- although presumably they're going to be staying until Dec 21 or later:
Dates of Arrival and Departure for Hajj 2007
Below are the official arrival and departure dates, issued by the Ministry of Hajj, for Hajj 2007
