Hajj

Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, and every financially and physically capable Muslim is required to perform it at least once in their lifetime. Given the high demand and the logistical challenges of arranging travel to Mecca, Pakistan offers several Hajj packages, each designed to cater to different budgets and preferences.

Hajj packages that range from basic to luxury options. These packages often provide more comfortable accommodations, better transportation options, and additional services such as guided tours and personal assistance.
