Domestic Haj companies have forged an alliance to provide 10,000 local pilgrims the opportunity to perform Haj this year for SR2,750.

The price for a low-cost Haj will range between SR2,750 and SR5,000 while those wanting extra services have to pay SR9,800 and more. Pilgrims opting for low-cost services will be given tents in different parts of Mina, said Saad Al-Qurashi, chairman of the Haj and Umrah Committee at the Makkah Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Pilgrims who want to stay close to the Jamarat have to pay SR5,000 for A1 category, SR4,800 for A2, SR4,400 for B and SR4,150 for C. Pilgrims who applied for D1 category, located between King Abdul Aziz Bridge and the Muzdalifah border, have to pay SR3,600 while those staying in tents closer to Muzdalifah will pay SR2,750.

“As many as 41,000 domestic pilgrims will benefit from low-cost Haj services this year,” said Al-Qurashi.

Were you planning on going, Dot.Com? Perhaps it would be safer to go some other time when that MERS bug isn't going around. This way you will have more time to save up for more luxurious accommodations.
