Hajj from Pakistan is allocated under the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) Hajj Policy, which is announced fresh each season. Seats are split between the Government Hajj Scheme — applied for through designated banks, and balloted when applications exceed the quota — and licensed private Hajj Group Organisers, who receive a share of the national quota and sell packages directly. Government seats are normally the cheaper route; private packages cost more and buy shorter walking distances, better hotels and smaller groups.
It changes every season. The government scheme fare is announced when that year's Hajj Policy is released, and private packages are priced above it depending on hotel proximity, Mina camp category and length of stay. We do not publish a figure we cannot stand behind — tell us your city and preferences and we quote against the current season in writing.
As early as possible. Government applications open for a short window each season and go to ballot if oversubscribed, and private quota is limited and sells out. Registering interest early means being contacted the day the scheme is announced rather than after the window closes.
Hajj is the obligatory once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage for those able, performed on fixed dates in Dhul Hijjah and including Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah. Umrah can be performed almost any time of year, takes a few hours of rites, and costs far less. Many pilgrims perform Umrah while waiting for a Hajj seat.
Saudi rules for women travelling without a mahram have relaxed in recent years, but the requirement Pakistan applies for a given season is set in that season's Hajj Policy. We confirm the current position for your specific case before you commit.
Hajj quota is allocated by country of residence, so residents of the UK, the Gulf or elsewhere generally apply through an operator in that country. We will say so plainly rather than take a booking we cannot fulfil.
