Deadline of 2nd Domestic Pilgrimage Fees Installment Is Jan 29th

The deadline for paying the second installment of the domestic pilgrimage fees is Sunday, January 29, as the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said the fees could be divided into three installments.

The down payment started with 20 percent of the total cost, while the second payment is 40 percent.

The third payment will be also at 40 percent of the total cost, and should be paid no later than April 30th. 

The pilgrim's Hajj status will become "confirmed" when the payments are completed on time. Each payment issued will have a separate invoice, the ministry previously said.

The pilgrimage fees can still be paid in full, with the price of packages beginning at SAR3,984 ($1,061). 

According to Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, Saudi Arabia is getting ready to host two million pilgrims during the Hajj season for 1444 AH.
