Doha – The Royal Commission for Pilgrimage has set the cost for the 2025 Hajj season (1446 H) at MAD 63,770 ($6,377) for pilgrims supervised by the Ministry of Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs, marking a decrease from last year’s fee of MAD 66,865.50 ($6,686).
Initially, the Ministry had a provisional cost of MAD 65,000 ($6,500), which pilgrims paid between September 2 and September 20, 2024, through Barid Bank branches.
The Commission has now announced that these pilgrims will receive a refund of MAD 1,230 ($123) starting Monday, according to a ministry statement released on Tuesday.
Earlier this month, on February 11, Minister of Religious Endowments and Islamic
Affairs Ahmed Toufiq informed the House of Representatives about the preparations for this year’s pilgrimage.
