The pilgrimage to Mecca for the year 2019 will take place on August 9th next, 8 Dhul-Hijjah 1440. The date of the Eid Al Adha festival is scheduled, in all likelihood, for the 12th of the same month.
Muslims will have to pay more this year for their pilgrimage to Mecca. Hajj prices have seen a sharp increase of up to 20% for some countries. While the price increase has a small impact in Morocco, for other countries it will either weigh on the pilgrim’s budget or be offset by the state.
The pilgrimage (Hajj) fees for the 1440/2019 season are now known and must be paid in a single installment between February 18 and March 1 next, the Royal Commission for the Pilgrimage has just announced.
