Discounted costs for Hajj 2025 announced

Islamabad: The federal government has announced a reduction in the costs of Hajj packages for 2025.

The price of the 40-day Hajj package has been reduced by Rs25,000, bringing the cost down to Rs10,50,000. Similarly, the 25-day short Hajj package has seen a Rs50,000 decrease, now priced at Rs1100,000.

This price adjustment comes after successful discussions with Saudi authorities. Pilgrims are now required to pay the third installment of Rs450,000 for the long-duration package and Rs500,000 for the short-duration package between February 6 and 14 at designated banks.

Additionally, the government is refunding Rs4.75 billion to pilgrims from the previous year. As part of the 2025 Hajj agreement, 179,210 Pakistani pilgrims will perform Hajj and will benefit from improved facilities and reduced accommodation costs in Mina. A dedicated mobile app will offer real-time updates, flight details, training schedules, and live maps for the pilgrims.
