Hajj 2027 Registrations, Cost and Complete Guide

Hajj 2027 dates: when is Hajj 2027?

Hajj always falls on the same days of the Islamic calendar — the 8th to the 13th of Dhul Hijjah — but because the Hijri calendar is lunar, the equivalent Gregorian dates shift around 10-11 days earlier each year. Hajj 2026 fell in late May; Hajj 2027 is expected in mid-May.

These dates are estimates based on the Umm al-Qura astronomical calendar used for planning purposes. The binding, official dates are confirmed by Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court after the Dhul Hijjah crescent moon is sighted in early May 2027, and may shift by a day.

Hajj 2027 packages from the UK: London, Birmingham & Manchester

UK pilgrims typically book Hajj through an ATOL-protected specialist operator, which bundles flights, visa processing, hotels and ground arrangements into a single package — giving you financial protection that a self-arranged trip cannot offer. Several UK operators are already accepting early registrations and deposits for Hajj 2027, with full pricing confirmed closer to the season once hotel and flight allocations are finalised.

• Hajj 2027 packages from London: the widest choice of departure airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton) and operators, typically starting from around £5,700-£6,500 for a non-shifting package.
• Hajj 2027 packages from Birmingham: a well-served departure point with several established UK Hajj operators offering direct routing.
• Hajj 2027 packages from Manchester: the main departure point for pilgrims across the North of England, with growing operator choice each season.
• What's typically included: return flights, Hajj visa and Nusuk registration, hotels in Makkah and Madinah, Mina and Arafat arrangements, Qurbani, ground transport, and guided religious support throughout.
• Shifting vs non-shifting: non-shifting packages keep you in the same hotel throughout, typically at a higher price; shifting packages move you between accommodation during the trip, usually at a lower cost.
• ATOL protection: always confirm your UK operator's ATOL number and check that flights, hotels and other services are listed on your ATOL certificate before paying.

Hajj 2027 private packages: what to expect

"Private" Hajj packages — whether booked through a UK operator or a Pakistan-licensed Hajj Group Organiser — generally offer more control than a standard government scheme: choice of hotel standard and proximity to the Haram, flexible group size, tailored departure dates, and a higher level of dedicated support throughout the journey. That flexibility comes at a price premium compared with subsidised government schemes, but for many pilgrims the extra comfort, shorter walking distances to the Haram, and more predictable scheduling are worth the additional cost.

When comparing private Hajj 2027 packages, check: whether the package is shifting or non-shifting, the exact hotel distance from Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, group size, what's included versus offered as a paid extra, and — critically — that the operator is officially licensed (ATOL-protected in the UK, or a MoRA-approved Hajj Group Organiser in Pakistan).

Hajj 2027 guide for Pakistan: registration, cost & payments

Pakistan sends one of the largest national delegations to Hajj every year, and the process is managed centrally through the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony (MoRA). This section covers exactly what Pakistani applicants need to know for Hajj 2027 — registration, the government vs private scheme decision, when money is actually due, and realistic cost expectations.

Government vs private Hajj scheme in Pakistan: which should you choose?

Figures above are reference points from the most recently confirmed Hajj 2026 policy. Hajj 2027's official cost has not yet been announced by MoRA — treat any 2027 price quoted online before the formal policy announcement as an estimate, not a confirmed rate.

Hajj 2027 registration: how to apply

Registration for Hajj 2027 is already open and follows a two-stage process: a free pre-registration phase, followed by a paid booking phase once MoRA finalises the season's quota and policy.

1. Visit the official portal: go to hajj.mora.gov.pk/login (or use the Pak Hajj mobile app) and create an account.
2. Submit your application: select "New Application" and enter your CNIC or NICOP number, full legal name exactly as it should appear on your passport, date of birth, contact details, and province/district.
3. Add passport details when ready: you can register before you have a passport — add passport details once available. Your passport must be valid until at least 16 November 2027 before you can proceed to the paid booking stage.
4. Register your family: up to six people can be registered under a single account, which simplifies things for families applying together.
5. Wait for the paid booking phase: once MoRA opens booking, you'll choose your scheme (government or private), confirm your slot, and pay the required instalment.

Pre-registration for Hajj 2027 opened on 22 June 2026 and is free of charge, processed on a first-come, first-served basis, and remains open until the quota is filled. Registration is also open to Overseas Pakistanis.

The Hajj 2027 portal: hajj.mora.gov.pk

The official Pakistan Hajj 2027 portal is hajj.mora.gov.pk, run by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony. It's also accessible via the official Pak Hajj mobile app. Government scheme applicants complete their paid booking through designated bank branches or directly via the MoRA portal; private scheme applicants book through MoRA-licensed operators via the Private Hajj Management Portal. Always register directly through these official channels — never through unofficial websites or agents claiming to guarantee a government-scheme slot outside the official system.

When to submit money: Hajj 2027 payment stages

• Pre-registration (now): completely free — no payment required to secure your place in the applicant pool.
• First instalment (once booking opens): for reference, Hajj 2026's government scheme required an initial deposit of PKR 500,000 for the long-duration package or PKR 550,000 for the short-duration package. Expect a broadly similar structure for 2027, subject to official confirmation.
• Second instalment: the remaining balance, historically collected from around November of the preceding year, bringing the total to the full announced package cost.
• Private scheme payments: typically structured as roughly 50% on registration with your chosen operator, and the remaining balance due ahead of a deadline set by that operator — confirm the exact schedule with your chosen Hajj Group Organiser.

Never pay any instalment to an individual, unofficial agent, or unverified bank account. Government scheme payments go through MoRA-designated bank branches or the official portal; private scheme payments go directly to your MoRA-licensed operator.

How much does Hajj 2027 cost in Pakistan?

The official Hajj 2027 cost has not yet been announced by MoRA. As a planning baseline only, here's what the most recently confirmed policy (Hajj 2026) looked like:

These are Hajj 2026 figures shown purely as a reference point. Pakistan's Hajj 2027 quota and pricing will be confirmed once Saudi Arabia allocates the new season's national quotas and MoRA publishes the formal Hajj Policy 2027.

Hajj 2027 long package vs short package

Pakistan's government scheme has historically offered two duration options:

• Long-duration Hajj package (approx. 38-42 days): a longer stay in Saudi Arabia with a lower initial deposit, suited to pilgrims with more flexible time availability.
• Short-duration Hajj package (approx. 20-25 days): a more compressed trip with a higher initial deposit, suited to pilgrims wanting to minimise total time away.

Both package types are managed within the same government scheme and quota, so the choice comes down to how much time you're able to commit to the journey rather than cost alone.

Hajj 2027 applications: what happens next

Based on the pattern of recent cycles, expect the following broad timeline for Hajj 2027 applications in Pakistan — treat this as indicative until MoRA issues each official announcement:

Documents, health & preparation for Hajj 2027

• Passport: must remain valid well beyond your travel dates — Pakistani applicants specifically need validity until at least 16 November 2027 to complete booking.
• Hajj visa: Hajj cannot legally be performed on a tourist, business or Umrah visa — a dedicated Hajj visa, issued through the official Nusuk platform or government channels, is mandatory.
• Vaccinations: proof of vaccination against Quadrivalent Meningococcal Meningitis is generally required, with COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccination sometimes also mandated depending on guidance closer to the season.
• Fitness certificate (Pakistan government scheme): a physical fitness certificate from a certified government medical officer confirming you're fit for the walking distances and climate at Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah.
• Travel insurance: strongly recommended alongside your Hajj package for medical cover and trip protection.
