Religious Affairs Adviser AFM Khalid Hossain has said that prospective Hajj pilgrims could expect a more affordable and comfortable package, with the highest quality of service provided.

Talking to UNB, Khalid Hossain, also a distinguished Islamic scholar, said the 2025 Hajj package, set to be unveiled on October 30, would offer special discounts to make the pilgrimage more accessible.

Khalid Hossain discussed the government’s plans to make the pilgrimage more cost-effective, highlighting recent discussions aimed at reducing travel and accommodation expenses.

“On October 22, we held a productive meeting with representatives from Biman, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB), and the National Board of Revenue (NBR). Biman has agreed in principle to lower costs, and CAAB and NBR have pledged to waive certain fees,” he said, noting that these waivers could reduce costs by approximately Tk 10,000 per pilgrim.

The government’s focus is on bringing down airfares and hotel rental costs, with Hossain personally inspecting accommodation options in Makkah and Medina.

By prioritising airfares and hotel expenses, the government aims to reduce overall Hajj costs significantly, he explained.

Breakdown of Expenses

Hossain provided an overview of the primary cost components for Hajj, detailing expenses such as airfare, hotel rentals in Makkah Medina, tent rentals, and meals in Mina and Arafat.

“There are also costs for buses, guides, visa processing, health insurance, and sacrificial animals,” he said.

He, however, emphasised that airfares and hotel costs in Makkah and Medina were the primary areas where expenses could be reduced.

Packages for 2025

This year, the government plans to offer two distinct packages for pilgrims, with accommodations within one and a half to two and a half kilometres from the Haram Sharif.

While the Riyal has appreciated by Tk 2, adjustments have been made to maintain affordability.
