باقة الحج
হজ্জ packages are the primary way most international হাজীগণ organize their হজ্জ. Licensed operators assemble these packages in coordination with Saudi authorities and their country's হজ্জ governing body. Typical inclusions are: round-trip airfare (often charter flights), hotel accommodation in মক্কা মুকাররমা (proximity to Haram varies by tier), hotel accommodation in মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা, tent accommodation in মিনা and আরাফাত, ground transport (buses) between holy sites, meals, mutawwif/guide services, and হজ্জ visa processing. Packages are typically categorized into tiers: economy/standard (farther hotels, shared rooms), premium (closer hotels, fewer per room), and VIP/5-star (closest hotels, private rooms, luxury services). Pilgrims should verify that their operator is licensed by both their home country's হজ্জ authority and the Saudi Ministry of হজ্জ. Key questions to ask include: hotel proximity to Haram, transport quality, tent category in মিনা, and what meals are included.
