These receipts used to serve in a similar way as a traveller's cheque for the Muslim Hajj Pilgrims that would usually receive it in advance of the annual Hajj and it could be exchanged in the local banks upon arrival for the predetermined amount. The Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to the holiest city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia and it is a mandatory religious duty for Muslims that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all adults who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey and can support their family during their absence. In Islamic terminology Hajj is a pilgrimage made to Kaab, the "House of Allah", in the sacred city of Mecca and the rites are performed over five or six days, beginning on the eighth and ending on the thirteenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar
