Frequently asked questions

When is Hajj 2028?

Hajj is projected for May 3–8, 2028, covering 8–13 Dhul Hijjah. Final dates depend on Saudi confirmation and lunar observations, so keep travel plans flexible.

Where should I stay for Hajj?

Choose accommodation through your authorized Hajj arrangements. Central Mecca, Aziziyah and Al Shishah are areas to compare, but confirm transport and the nights assigned to pilgrimage camps before booking additional hotel stays.

Can I perform Hajj with a tourist visa and a hotel booking?

No. A tourist visa and hotel reservation do not authorize Hajj. Follow the official Saudi Hajj process applicable to your country or residency, including required permits and any package requirements.

What should I check before booking a Hajj hotel?

Check whether accommodation is already included in your Hajj package, along with cancellation terms, occupancy and transport. PikPakGo hotel totals include reported taxes and mandatory fees; a hotel booking does not replace Hajj authorization.
