Hajj 2025: Friday deadline for domestic pilgrims to pay fees

Cairo: Friday is the deadline for domestic pilgrims to pay the last instalment of fees for the upcoming Islamic Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, authorities in the kingdom have said.

The third and final installment constitutes 40% of the fees for the four main packages allocated to domestic pilgrims, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has said.

These packages are available for citizens and Muslim expatriates residing in Saudi Arabia who have chosen to pay the fees over three installments.

The first package is pertaining to camps set up in Mina, a valley located around six kilometres east to the holy city of Mecca, to provide a high-quality service with shared accommodation. Prices start from SR10,366, excluding the cost of the transportation programme.

The second includes hospitality camps with shared accommodation. Prices start from SR8,092 excluding transportation cost.

The third package includes six towers located near the multi-level structure of the Jamarat Bridge where the Hajj symbolic stone-throwing rite is performed. Offering shared accommodation, this package starts with the price of SR13,150, excluding the transportation cost.

The fourth package provides accommodation at the Kadana Al Wadi Towers, equipped with advanced facilities and personal services. This package entails meals and shared accommodation options. Its prices start from SR12,537.

In February, the ministry opened registration for Saudis and Muslim foreign residents wishing to perform this year’s Hajj rites due in June.

The ministry said priority in registration is given to those who had not previously performed Hajj, except for the escort of the eligible pilgrim.
