For Muslims living in Saudi Arabia or abroad who are interested in performing the Hajj rituals in June of this year, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah launched registration earlier this month.
The government has identified the Hajj packages, with the first package being associated with camps in Mina, a valley about six kilometers east of Makkah, to offer a high-quality service with shared housing.
This package starts at SR10,366 (not including transportation cost).
The second package's starting price is 8,092 Riyals; it includes lodging for hospitality camps that allow guests to share a room and excludes transportation.
The third package contains six towers that pilgrims use during the Hajj ritual of symbolic stone-throwing; it is positioned close to the multi-level Jamarat Bridge. Recommend: Saudi Arabia arrests 14 for involving children in begging
Prices for this package begin at SR13,150 and do not include transportation costs.
The fourth package includes a stay at the luxurious Kadana Al Wadi Towers, where you can take advantage of superior facilities and personalized attention.
Meals and alternatives for shared housing are included in this package. The pricing does not include the cost of transportation and starts at SR12,537.
The ministry has announced that, with the exception of the eligible pilgrim's guide, domestic pilgrims who have never undertaken Hajj before would be given preference while registering.
An additional requirement is that the validity of the national card or residency permit must extend until the tenth of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul Hijjah, which is the day after the Hajj completion. See Also: 3 women arrested for prostitution in Qassim region
