Rabat – Morocco’s Hajj Committee recommended that selected citizens drawn in the Hajj lottery should pay an approximate amount of MAD 65,000 ($6,693).
The committee held a meeting today in Rabat to review the conditions of the 2024 Hajj season and discuss preparations for the Hajj seasons for next year, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs said in a statement.
“After discussing the agenda items, the committee recommended for the Hajj season of 1446 AH that selected citizens drawn in the Hajj lottery within the official campaign list pay an approximate amount of 65,000 dirhams,” it added.
The final cost of the next Hajj season is yet to be announced, the ministry said, stressing that the cost could go up or down compared to the last fees.
The committee emphasized that it has recommended for the collection of the Hajj fees to run from September 2 to 20.
Medical examinations will begin immediately upon completion of the payment process.
Moroccans who performed the Hajj season in June this year paid MAD 66,865 or $6,729.
The ministry announced in November 2023 a MAD 3,000 ($3,200) increase in Hajj costs.
