Three new Hajj packages under private management for the upcoming year have been announced, with notable price hikes across all categories. According to Hajj Agencies Association of Bangladesh (HAAB) Secretary General Farid Ahmed Mazumder, the Special Hajj Package has been raised by Tk 51,000 to Tk 7.5 lakh. The General Package now costs Tk 5.5 lakh, an increase of Tk 27,000, while the Economy Package stands at Tk 5.1 lakh. Unlike government-managed Hajj programs where meal expenses remain separate, all private packages include costs for food and Qurbani, promising improved services for pilgrims.
