When selecting a Hajj package, it’s important to understand the two main options available: Shifting and Non-Shifting packages. Each option offers distinct benefits in terms of accommodation and convenience, depending on your preferences and needs during the pilgrimage.
In shifting packages, when the Hajj rituals begin, you are “shifted” to hotels or apartments closer to the sacred sites to provide easier access during the key days of Hajj. These packages are often more affordable, offering flexibility with accommodation arrangements.
In non-shifting packages, pilgrims remain in the same accommodation, typically located close to the Haram, throughout the entire pilgrimage. This option offers more stability and convenience, as there is no need to relocate during Hajj, but it tends to be more expensive due to the premium location and consistent proximity to the Haram.
By understanding the features of each package, you can make an informed decision that best suits your preferences, budget, and the overall experience you desire for your pilgrimage.
The following is how shifting method may work:
1. Fly to Madinah first, then to Makkah, then to shifting hotel during Hajj before returning home.
2. Fly to Madinah first, then to Shifting hotel for Hajj then to Makkah before returning home
3. Fly to Makkah first, then to shifting hotel for Hajj then to Madinah before returning home.
