Shifting Hajj Packages from the USA
Our shifting Hajj packages from the USA start at about $9,000 per person. They are the most affordable way to perform a full and valid Hajj. In a shifting package, your accommodation moves during the busy Hajj days to keep the cost down. The price covers your flights, your Hajj visa, hotels in Makkah and Medina, your Mina and Arafat services, transport, meals during the Hajj days, and a group leader. Hajj 2027 is expected around mid-May 2027, and spots are limited, so book early.

What Is a Shifting Hajj Package?
A shifting Hajj package is the budget option, where your accommodation changes during the busy days of Hajj to lower the price. For example, you may move out of your Makkah hotel during the Mina days, and your tent in Mina is usually in a farther area. You shift between places instead of staying put, and that is what makes it cheaper.
A shifting package still completes a full, valid Hajj. You perform every rite, just like any other pilgrim. The only difference is comfort and convenience. You move more, you may walk longer distances, and your tents are usually farther from the Jamarat. In return, you pay much less than a non-shifting package.
Shifting vs Non-Shifting: Which Should You Choose?
Choose a shifting package if your main goal is the lowest price and you are fit enough to walk more. Choose non-shifting if you want to stay in one place, walk less, and have an easier trip. Both complete the same Hajj. The difference is cost and comfort.

If you are young and healthy and your budget is tight, shifting is a smart choice. If you are travelling with older parents or you want the easiest possible trip, non-shifting is usually worth the extra cost. Not sure? Call us and we will help you choose.
Who Should Choose a Shifting Hajj Package?
A shifting package is best for pilgrims who want to keep the cost down and can handle more movement and walking. If that sounds like you, it is the most affordable way to perform your Hajj.
Budget first: You want to perform a full Hajj for the lowest possible price.
Good health: You are fit and healthy, and longer walks are not a problem.
Flexible: You are okay with moving between places during the Hajj days.
First Hajj on a budget: You are a younger pilgrim or a first-timer watching your spending.
What Is Included in a Shifting Hajj Package?
Your shifting Hajj package includes your flights, your Hajj visa, hotels in Makkah and Medina, your Mina and Arafat services, all transport, meals during the Hajj days, and an experienced group leader. You get everything you need to complete the Hajj. The savings come from the accommodation arrangement, not from leaving things out.
- Flights from your nearest US airport, round-trip, in your name.
- Hajj visa, processed through the official Saudi system. Spots are limited by quota.
- Hotels named hotels in both cities, before and after the Hajj days.
- Mina and Arafat: your tent space, food, and services for the Hajj days.
- Transport: buses and transfers between the holy sites.
- Meals: full meals during the Hajj days, and breakfast at most hotels.
- Group leader: a leader who guides your group through every rite.
The Honest Trade-Off
The trade-off with a shifting package is more movement and more walking in exchange for a lower price. We believe in being clear about this, so you know what to expect.
During the Hajj days, you may change accommodation, and your Mina tent is usually farther from the Jamarat. That can mean longer walks in the heat, which is harder for older pilgrims or anyone with health issues. If that worries you, a non-shifting package is the better fit. But if you are fit and your budget matters most, a shifting package lets you perform a complete Hajj for much less, and our group leader is with you the whole way.
