The first is, “Al-Abraaj Package” which is priced at 14737.83 riyals per pilgrim before adding value-added tax.

The second package is the “Developed Camps Package” and its price is 13043.99 riyals per pilgrim before adding tax.

the third package is the “undeveloped camping package” and its price is 10,238.57 riyals per pilgrim before adding tax.
