Trip organizers ready with best Hajj packages
The Hajj pilgrimage cost per person has reached BD1,500 and it could go up to BD2,500, according to travel agencies in the Kingdom. “About 5,600 pilgrims from the Kingdom are expected to perform Hajj this year. The Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs has licensed 60 organisers to arrange pilgrimage and each will get 100 seats on an average,” said Ayman Al Sitri, one of the organisers. The cost will cover entire expenses including airline tickets and stay at Mecca and Medina, he added. “The expenses can vary mainly on the basis of flights one choses. The highest flying charge is BD1,890 while the lowest is BD1,550.” He stressed that the expenses will be lower this year since more number of pilgrims has been allocated to each trip organiser. Hamza Mansour, another Hajj trip organiser, said the average charge for the pilgrimage comes in the neighbourhood of BD1,750.
