حج Package(باقة الحج) A comprehensive travel arrangement offered by licensed حج operators that bundles flights, accommodation, meals, ground transport, and ritual guidance for حجاج performing حج.
باقة الحج
حج packages are the primary way most international حجاج organize their حج. Licensed operators assemble these packages in coordination with Saudi authorities and their country's حج governing body. Typical inclusions are: round-trip airfare (often charter flights), hotel accommodation in مکہ مکرمہ (proximity to Haram varies by tier), hotel accommodation in مدینہ منورہ, tent accommodation in منیٰ and عرفات, ground transport (buses) between holy sites, meals, mutawwif/guide services, and حج 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 حج authority and the Saudi Ministry of حج. Key questions to ask include: hotel proximity to Haram, transport quality, tent category in منیٰ, and what meals are included.
