Two new Hajj packages announced with benefits and services for citizens and expatriates to perform Hajj this year

Two new Hajj packages with incentives and services that offer an easy travel and a rich experience for nationals and expats intending to undertake Hajj this year have been unveiled by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.

One of the packages is the economical one, which has a starting price of SR 4,000 and includes lodging in Makkah in furnished apartment complexes. Basic services, such as transportation to the Holy Sites of Mina, Muzdalifah, and Arafat during the Hajj days from the Day of Al-Tarwiyah (Dhul Hijjah 8), Arafat Day (Dhul Hijjah 9), Day of Al-Nahr (Dhul Hijjah 10), and Al-Tashreeq Days (Dhul Hijjah 11 and 12), will be provided to the pilgrims covered by this package.

The accommodation of pilgrims in Mina is not included in the package. But as part of the Hajj ceremonies, pilgrims will have transportation provided so they can spend a night or two in Mina during Hajj days. The pilgrims' Makkah residence determines the cost of transportation.

A different package known as the Kidana Al-Wadi Towers package also includes lodging in the recently constructed Kidana Al-Wadi Towers in New Mina. The package's starting price is SR13000.

For the duration of the Hajj, pilgrims in this category will be transported in cozy, air-conditioned buses. 

Along with a wide range of meals supplied during the Hajj days, cold and hot beverages, well-furnished camps in Arafat, and completely furnished accommodations for the overnight stay in Muzdalifah are other features of this package.

About a kilometer away from the Jamarat, in Mina, are twelve brand-new apartment complexes. Every floor of these new Mina towers has five storeys, which have several restroom complexes, three elevators for pilgrim use, and a separate elevator for services. Its chambers were generously proportioned to hold twenty to thirty travelers each.

Bookings and payments for the package can be made by logging onto the electronic pilgrimage path for domestic travelers at localhaj.haj.gov.sa.
