The federal government has announced a reduction in the costs of Hajj packages for 2025. The 40-day Hajj package has been lowered by Rs. 25,000, bringing the cost to Rs. 1,050,000, while the 25-day short Hajj package now costs Rs. 1,100,000 after a Rs. 50,000 discount.
This price reduction follows successful negotiations between the Pakistani government and Saudi authorities. Pilgrims are now required to pay the third installment for the Hajj—Rs. 450,000 for the long package and Rs. 500,000 for the short package—between February 6 and 14 at designated banks.

In addition, the government is providing a refund of Rs. 4.75 billion to pilgrims from last year’s Hajj. Under the 2025 Hajj agreement, a total of 179,210 Pakistanis will perform Hajj, benefiting from enhanced facilities and lower accommodation costs in Mina. A new mobile app will be introduced to provide pilgrims with real-time updates, flight details, training schedules, and live maps.
