Saudi Arabia Introduces Four Hajj Packages for Domestic Pilgrims in 2025

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah unveils diverse options to accommodate varying budgets and preferences for the upcoming pilgrimage season.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced four distinct packages for domestic pilgrims—both citizens and residents—for the Hajj season of 2025. These packages are designed to cater to a range of financial capacities and personal preferences, allowing pilgrims to select options that best suit their needs.

Package Details:

1. Developed Camps in Mina: This package offers enhanced services with comfortable shared accommodations in Mina.

Prices start at ten thousand three hundred sixty-six Saudi Riyals, excluding transportation costs.

2. Hospitality Camps in Mina: Pilgrims opting for this package will stay in shared accommodations within Mina's hospitality camps.

Prices begin at eight thousand ninety-two Saudi Riyals, excluding transportation.

3. Towers Near Jamarat Bridge: This option provides lodging in one of six towers located in close proximity to the Jamarat Bridge, featuring shared accommodations.

Prices start at thirteen thousand one hundred fifty Saudi Riyals, excluding transportation.

4. Kidana Al-Wadi Towers: These modern towers are equipped with advanced facilities and offer personal services, including meal provisions and shared accommodation options.

Prices commence at twelve thousand five hundred thirty-seven Saudi Riyals, excluding transportation.

The Ministry has made these packages available for review and selection through its Nusuk electronic application, aiming to streamline the booking process for domestic pilgrims.

In addition to the package offerings, the Ministry has outlined key guidelines for prospective pilgrims.

Priority registration is granted to individuals who have not previously performed Hajj, with the registration process accessible via the Nusuk app or the official e-portal.

Applicants are advised to complete their health information accurately, add accompanying pilgrims as needed, and submit requests for exemption from the Mahram (male guardian) requirement if applicable.

The Ministry emphasizes the importance of early registration to secure desired packages and ensure compliance with all health and safety protocols.

Notably, children will not be permitted to accompany pilgrims during Hajj 2025, a measure aimed at safeguarding them from potential risks associated with severe overcrowding.

These initiatives are part of Saudi Arabia's broader efforts to enhance the Hajj experience for domestic pilgrims, ensuring a range of options that accommodate different needs while maintaining safety and comfort.
