A senior source at EgyptAir revealed that Hajj ticket prices this year, 1438 AH/2017, have risen by 40% compared with last season as a result of the liberalization of the pound's exchange rate against the dollar (the “flotation of the pound”), across all categories: tourist Hajj, lottery Hajj and Solidarity Hajj.
The source explained in an exclusive statement to “Travel Yalla News” that tourist Hajj flight tickets start from EGP 11,000 and go up to EGP 14,000, varying according to the length of the trip, while ticket prices for the lottery Hajj run by the Ministry of Interior are fixed at EGP 10,500, and for the associations' Hajj (“Solidarity”) run by the Ministry of Social Solidarity at EGP 10,800.
