ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Most Hajj group organizers have uploaded their packages on the digital portal following directions from the Ministry of Religious Affairs, accelerating bookings under the private Hajj scheme through the Pak Hajj App and Hajj Portal.
According to a ministry spokesperson, 16 basic Hajj packages have been finalized under the private scheme this year, with prices ranging from Rs1.4 million to Rs3.75 million.
The private scheme offers pilgrims several options, including short-duration packages, direct flights from abroad and five-star Hajj packages.
The spokesperson advised private Hajj pilgrims to select their packages and make payments only through the Hajj Portal or Pak Hajj App. The ministry will not be responsible for any loss resulting from direct payments to individuals or companies.
A total of 71,684 seats have been allocated for the private Hajj scheme this year, while November 20 has been set as the deadline for package selection and payment.
The spokesperson said that if the allocated quota is not filled by the deadline, the ministry will have the authority to reallocate the quota.
