Third, the number of regular Hajj flights is 525 clusters.
"We propose the amount of living cost of living for 1447 is the same as for 1446 or 2025, which is 750 SAR. Payments will be made in the form of SAR, with the consideration of protecting pilgrims from large fluctuations in exchanges applied by money exchange companies," he said.
Dahnil said that the BPIH budget for 1447 H / 2026 M was grouped into two components, namely the components charged directly to pilgrims are called the cost of Hajj or bilih travel, and the components charged to benefit value funds or optimization.

"The burden of BPIH must maintain the principles of istita'ah and operational liquidity in the implementation of the pilgrimage in the coming years," he said.
