With reference to reports circulated on some news websites about the prices of tourist Hajj programs for the coming 1447 AH-2026 Hajj season, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities confirmed that what is being circulated is untrue, as the prices of tourist Hajj programs are set according to several factors in light of the regulations governing tourist Hajj, which have not yet been announced or approved, and therefore no official prices have been set or announced yet.
For her part, Samia Samy, Assistant Minister for Tourism Companies Affairs and Head of the Higher Committee for Hajj and Umrah, explained that the figures being circulated in this regard are nothing more than estimates or expectations by some tourism companies and cannot be considered official prices.
She stressed that work will begin in the coming period on preparing the regulations for tourist Hajj through procedural steps, starting with periodic meetings of the members of the Higher Committee for Hajj and Umrah to discuss proposals and draft these regulations, which will then be presented to the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities ahead of their final approval.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities urges the various media outlets to exercise accuracy when covering any news related to this matter and to refer to the competent official sources before publishing.
