Looking for information on packages for this year. Anyone has some leads?
I know of a couple already, but thought we could start a thread for this purpose.
Re: Hajj 2011
I think Embassy/Consulate of KSA hav approved list of Hajj & Umrah Tour services. Better to get list from them and see who provide better pakages for Hajj purpose. :)
Re: Hajj 2011
Thanks I know it's a bit early but it give me time to make preparations and thanks for the tip about the Officially approved Tours becuase I know theres been some controversy on the matter in recent times.
Re: Hajj 2011
I went with Sara International. But I was in the CDN group, so it was a different experience, since we had our own Shaykh to accompany us, instead of having a random Imam (or no Imam at all) in the US groups. A few US pilgrims joined our group.
Re: Hajj 2011
We went for umrah with Dar El Salam during ramadan last year and loved their service in Saudi Arabia! I had a bad experience with customer service person here in the US but once I complained, it was all taken care of! Other than that, it was the most memorable experience ever!
I was looking into Abu Muaaz's hajj and umrah tours but it didn't fit into our timings but I read really good reviews about them and also my correspondence with them was directly with Br. Abu Muaaz and it was very nice!
If I was going to go, I would choose one of the above depending on the rates/availability.
Re: Hajj 2011
who who is going to Hajj this year? Or even umrah? My cousin is going to umrah but they are not positive yet. I am praying I get to go to Hajj or Umrah!
Re: Hajj 2011
What is the average price of a hajj package
Re: Hajj 2011
Price varies based on what you need and when you book.
Also if you can haggle the price. Yes you can haggle the price to some extent.
You want five star package, first class seat, you may end up paying over 10,000-12,000 dollars easily. But timing of booking is important. Early booking gets better rate and hotels, meal, travel plan.
Average but acceptable plan is from 6000-7000 dollars.
Re: Hajj 2011
Awe that's expensive inshAllah I can afford it.

Allah SWT! hum sb ko hajj ki sa'adat naseeb farmain Ameen
