How Much Does Hajj Cost in 2025 ? Full Country-by-Country Breakdown

As more than 1.6 million pilgrims perform Hajj this year, the cost of the pilgrimage across the Arab world reveals stark disparities.

Amid inflation, soaring airfare, and local currency depreciation against the dollar, some countries have seen prices reach record highs, while others have opted to subsidize the journey to ease the burden on worshippers.

In Egypt, Costs Soar to New Heights

In Egypt, Hajj costs have surged. The average pilgrimage now stands at $8,893, with private packages reaching up to $11,000. Airline tickets alone now cost around $2,000 — a 100% increase in just one year.

Despite these steep prices, authorities have succeeded in tightening market regulation, curbing some of the abuses reported in previous years.

Tunisia Sets Fixed Rate for Selected Pilgrims

In Tunisia, the Ministry of Religious Affairs has set the Hajj cost at 20,700 dinars — approximately $7,000 — for the 11,000 pilgrims selected. It remains a significant amount in a country where inflation, though slightly down to 5.6% in April, is still weighing heavily on households.

Morocco and Lebanon: High Prices, Uneven Access

Morocco is also reporting high costs, with an average of $9,150 — and some private packages exceeding $15,000. In Lebanon, a country in prolonged crisis, Hajj prices range from $5,000 to $10,000 for the 6,000 registered pilgrims.

At the Other End of the Spectrum: Saudi Arabia

As the host country, Saudi Arabia offers domestic packages starting at $2,834. In the Gulf region, however, prices escalate rapidly: in Qatar, the average cost is $15,770, while in Kuwait, premium packages can reach a staggering $32,200.

Government Subsidies Ease the Burden in Some Nations

Several governments have chosen to absorb part of the rising costs. Algeria, for example, has maintained the official rate at $6,385 for more than 41,000 pilgrims. Libya continues to fully cover the cost of Hajj for its citizens — now for the fourth consecutive year.

Sudan and Palestine: Performing Hajj Amid Adversity

In Sudan, where the economy remains deeply troubled, prices vary by region but average around $5,473. In Palestine, where war and blockade create additional hardships, costs remain relatively stable at around $5,030.

The cost of Hajj thus continues to reflect both the economic inequalities among Arab nations and the logistical complexity of an event that mobilizes hundreds of thousands of people each year.
