How much do shifting Hajj packages from the USA cost?

Shifting Hajj packages from the USA start at about $9,000 per person, which is the lowest-cost way to perform a full Hajj. The price includes flights, the Hajj visa, hotels, Mina and Arafat services, transport, qurbani, meals, and a group leader. Hajj prices change each year, so call for the current price.

What is the difference between shifting and non-shifting Hajj?

In a shifting package, your accommodation moves during the Hajj days and your Mina tent is usually farther out, which costs less. In a non-shifting package, you stay in one place and your tent is closer to the Jamarat, which costs more but is easier. Both complete the same Hajj.

Is a shifting Hajj package still a complete Hajj?

Yes. A shifting package completes a full, valid Hajj. You perform every rite, just like any other pilgrim. The only difference is comfort and convenience, not the Hajj itself.

Who should choose a shifting Hajj package?

It is best for budget-minded pilgrims who are fit and healthy and do not mind more movement and longer walks. It suits younger pilgrims and first-timers who want to perform a full Hajj for the lowest price.

What is included in a shifting Hajj package?

You get round-trip US flights, your Hajj visa, hotels in Makkah and Medina, your Mina and Arafat services, all transport, meals during the Hajj days, and an experienced group leader. The savings come from the accommodation arrangement, not from leaving things out.

What is the downside of a shifting package?

The trade-off is more movement and more walking. During the Hajj days you may change accommodation, and your Mina tent is usually farther from the Jamarat, which can mean longer walks in the heat. For older or less mobile pilgrims, a non-shifting package is easier.

How early should I book a shifting Hajj package?

Book 6 to 12 months ahead. Spots are limited by quota and sell out, and prices rise as Hajj gets closer. The earlier you book, the better your place and your price.

Q: What is a shifting Hajj package?

A shifting Hajj package is the budget option, where your accommodation moves during the busy days of Hajj to lower the price. You may change hotels during the Mina days, and your Mina tent is usually farther out. It still completes a full, valid Hajj.

What Is a Shifting Hajj Package?

In a shifting package, you leave your Makkah hotel before the 8th of Dhul Hijjah. Your large bags go to an apartment in Aziziya, a Makkah neighbourhood close to Mina. You sleep in your Mina tent during the Hajj days and use the apartment to shower, rest, and get to your luggage. After Hajj, you move back into a hotel. Hotels near the Haram charge their highest rates of the year that week. You are not paying for a room you would hardly use, so the package costs less. Your Hajj is the same as everyone else's. You perform Tawaf, Sa'i, the day at Arafat, the night in Muzdalifah, and the stoning at the Jamarat.

Shifting vs. Non-Shifting Hajj: What Is the Difference?

The difference is your hotel room during the Hajj days. With our non-shifting Hajj packages, you keep one Makkah hotel for the whole trip, and your Mina camp is usually closer to the Jamarat. They start at $10,000 per person. You pay more, but you walk less and never repack your bags.

	Shifting	Non-Shifting
Starting price	About $9,000	$10,000

Who Should Book a Shifting Hajj Package?

Shifting works well if you are in good health, you can handle longer walks in the heat, and price matters most to you. We do not recommend it for elderly pilgrims or anyone with health problems. Hajj 2027 falls in mid-May, when Makkah is very hot, and the extra walking is hard. A non-shifting package is the safer choice in those cases.
