The Egyptian tourism sector offers various Hajj programs, including economic Hajj packages that cater to different budgets and needs.
The Egyptian Chamber of Tourism Companies highlighted that the country's tourist Hajj programs are diverse and offer various levels of service. The economic Hajj program, which has 18,000 visas, is divided into three categories: "A", "B", and "C", which differ in terms of accommodation and services provided.
The economic Hajj program includes services such as accommodation, transportation, and catering, as well as services at the holy sites. Some programs also offer what is known as "improvement", which allows pilgrims to stay in 5-star hotels near the holy sites.
The Egyptian Chamber of Tourism Companies emphasized the importance of pilgrims booking their Hajj trips through licensed tourism companies and carefully reviewing the program details, including accommodation and services, before signing a contract. This ensures that the pilgrim's rights are protected and that the program is implemented according to the approved regulations.
