Muis has approved 11 travel agents offering a total of 28 Hajj packages, priced between $8,970 and $26,995 for stays of up to 27 days.
The average cost of these packages is $16,178, reflecting a $2,000 increase from the previous year due to higher costs.
These packages include Masyair services, which refer to the movement of pilgrims within Saudi Arabia for the Hajj rituals, and medical services in the Holy Lands, such as those provided by the Singapore Pilgrims’ Affairs Office. However, the prices do not cover airfare, which can cost up to $3,100 for a typical economy seat. Muis also advises prospective pilgrims to purchase additional travel insurance.
