Govt Announces Big Discounts For Hajj 2025

The federal government has reduced package costs for Hajj 2025. The 40-day Hajj package is now Rs. 1,050,000 after a Rs. 25,000 discount, while the 25-day short Hajj package has been lowered by Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1,100,000. The decision followed successful negotiations with Saudi authorities. Pilgrims are now required to pay the third installment—Rs. 450,000 for the long package and Rs. 500,000 for the short package—between February 6 and 14 at designated banks. The government is also refunding Rs. 4.75 billion to pilgrims from last year. Under the 2025 Hajj agreement, 179,210 Pakistanis will perform Hajj and be given improved facilities and lower accommodation costs in Mina. A special mobile app will provide real-time updates, flight details, training schedules, and live maps.
