EGP 1.5 Million For Hajj? This Woman Spoke Up About The High Cost of the Annual Pilgrimage and The Internet Agreed!

The cost of performing Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, has become a growing concern for many Egyptians, and recently, lawyer Nehad Abo El Komsan voiced her frustration about the cost of it.

Taking to her social media, Abo El Komsan highlighted the increasingly expensive prices of pilgrimage services in Egypt, which have reached up to EGP 1.5 million per person for premium packages.

The lawyer’s outspoken comments quickly resonated with many Egyptians, sparking a wider conversation about the financial burden of fulfilling this important religious duty.

The Exorbitant Costs of Hajj

In her video, Nehad raised alarm over the soaring prices of Hajj packages. According to her, the most luxurious packages, which include high-end services such as top-tier food and accommodation, now cost a staggering EGP 1.5 million per person.

Even the more affordable options, which cater to a wider segment of society, are priced between EGP 300,000 and EGP 500,000.

This price range has sparked debate, with many questioning how it became so high. For many, Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual journey, but the exorbitant prices are now making it financially inaccessible for many, especially those of modest means.

“When did worship become an auction?”

Abo El Komsan’s frustration comes from the belief that Hajj should be a spiritual experience, not a luxury service.

She asked a question that many are now pondering: “When did worship become an auction?” According to her, the prices are unreasonable for a pilgrimage that should be about worship and spiritual fulfillment, not about extravagant comforts.

She pointed out that, while some might expect higher costs due to the services provided, the primary purpose of the pilgrimage is religious, not leisure.

Her comments reflect a broader sentiment felt by many in Egypt, where the rising costs of basic services are already a challenge for many families.

Comparing Prices with International Packages

Adding further weight to her argument, Abo El Komsan highlighted a surprising fact: booking a pilgrimage from the UK or other countries is actually cheaper than doing so from Egypt.

The fact that pilgrimage costs can vary so significantly depending on the country of booking further fueled the discussion, with many questioning the practices of Egyptian travel and pilgrimage agencies.

The Public Response

The lawyer’s remarks quickly gained traction on social media, with many people expressing their agreement to her argument. The debate over the high cost of the pilgrimage has sparked a national conversation about affordability, religious duty, and the role of profit in religious tourism.
