The Hajj rules noted that the announced program prices represent the maximum prices for tourism Hajj programs at their various levels, and stressed that tourism companies must implement the programs at the prices, specifications and services they announce without change, noting that these prices do not include transport tickets (air) or the ferry for overland programs.
The Hajj rules set the amount and method of payment of the booking deposit for registering pilgrims on the website, as follows:
For the 5-star Kidana Towers level: EGP 120,150
For the 5-star camps level: EGP 80,150
For the economy level: EGP 50,150
For the overland level: EGP 30,150
Note that EGP 150 is non-refundable and covers electronic services.
The rules pointed out that the said prices may be subject to any increase introduced by the Saudi authorities on the "Nusuk" electronic track, but companies may only apply it after referring to the Higher Committee for Hajj and Umrah to study the reasons for the increase and decide whether or not to approve it, stressing that in all cases no price increase takes effect until the committee approves it and any price adjustment is presented to the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities.
