As the official guidelines have yet to be released, please note that some of these were observed during this year’s Hajj season and may not apply to Hajj 2024.
Pilgrims from Pakistan can perform Hajj through either the government scheme or with approved private Hajj agents in their cities. Since the government scheme has a limited quota, pilgrims can still perform Hajj with the approved private Hajj tours. You can see the list of the approved travel agents of Pakistan on the Ministry of Religious Affairs website.
There are several types of packages that you can choose from for your Hajj, ranging from economy to 5-star. Typically, the package includes airfares, breakfast, transportation, and ziarat.

Qurbani in Saudi Arabia
The Hajj authority in Pakistan had entered into a partnership with the Saudi bank to facilitate Pakistani pilgrims who wish to participate in the sacrificial ritual during their pilgrimage. Pilgrims will be required to pay SAR 720 (PKR 54,448) in order to obtain a sacrificial coupon. Once they have obtained the coupon, they will receive information about the schedule for the sacrificial ritual.
However, the Pakistani government has recently advised Hajj pilgrims from Pakistan to acquire authorized sacrificial coupons exclusively from designated sources such as the Islamic Development Bank and Saudi Post. This measure has been implemented to ensure that pilgrims possess valid coupons and adhere to the Saudi regulations pertaining to the sacrificial ritual.
To obtain these coupons, they can visit mobile vans located near their accommodations.

Pilgrims paying in USD for Sponsorship Scheme
The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony in Pakistan has introduced a Sponsorship Scheme for the approximately 22,400 pilgrims who will be depositing their payments in US dollars. These pilgrims will be allocated a 50% special quota in the government Hajj scheme and will be exempted from balloting.
For the Hajj Sponsorship Scheme 2023, the ministry will charge USD 3,800 to pilgrims from northern Pakistan and USD 3,765 to pilgrims from southern Pakistan.
Payments in USD will be accepted through foreign remittances as well.
Pakistan Hajj cost calculator
In Islamabad, the Pakistani government has launched a tool that calculates the precise expenses for next year’s Hajj pilgrimage. The introduction of various categories by the government led to confusion regarding the specific payment needed for the pilgrimage to the holy kingdom.
To address this confusion, the government has unveiled an online platform. This platform allows individuals to input details about their required Hajj package, enabling them to determine the exact cost for an individual’s Hajj journey.
Pilgrims now can calculate the cost of their desired Hajj package with the Hajj cost calculator by The Ministry of Religious Affairs Pakistan.
