The Egyptian Ministry of Social Solidarity announced that today, Thursday, September 24, 2026, marks the final deadline for individuals who won 2027 charity hajj permits to pay their registration fees. These individuals, who are members of charity organizations, must complete their payments to secure their spots for the upcoming hajj season.
The Ministry of Social Solidarity is still accepting registration fees from successful applicants. Payments can be made through major Egyptian banks, including Bank of Egypt, National Bank of Egypt, and Cairo Bank, or via Egypt Post. The ministry has set this deadline to ensure that all logistical arrangements for the pilgrimage can be finalized in a timely manner.
Earlier, the Egyptian government approved the pricing for the 2027 charity hajj programs. The prices, which do not include flight tickets, vary according to the level of service chosen by the pilgrims. Three service levels were offered: Level 1 costs 480,000 Egyptian pounds, including meals; Level 2 costs 300,000 pounds, including meals; and Level 3 costs 255,000 pounds, also including meals.
These prices reflect the government's efforts to provide a range of options for pilgrims, taking into account their financial capabilities and preferences. The charity hajj program is designed to make the pilgrimage more accessible to a wider segment of Egyptian society, particularly those who may not be able to afford the higher costs associated with private hajj tours.
The Ministry of Social Solidarity plays a crucial role in organizing the charity hajj program, which is part of the Egyptian government's efforts to support low-income individuals and families. By providing subsidized hajj packages, the ministry aims to ensure that all Egyptians, regardless of their financial means, can fulfill their religious obligations.
Failure to pay the registration fee by today's deadline may result in the cancellation of an individual's hajj permit. The ministry has urged all successful applicants to complete their payments as soon as possible to avoid any last-minute complications.
The 2027 hajj season is expected to attract a large number of Egyptian pilgrims, and the Ministry of Social Solidarity is working closely with relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and well-organized pilgrimage experience for all participants.
