It is on people for the sake of Allah to perform Pilgrimage of his house, anyone who is able to undertake the journey to him. (2:196)
In light of this verse, it is only mandatory for those persons who can bear all expenses of Hajj Package.
Hajj is one of five pillars of Islam but it is not applicable for all Muslims. The building of Islam consists of five pillars. Their names are respectively Shahada (Faith), Salah (Prayer), Zakat (Charity), Sawm (Fasting) and Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah). Therefore every Muslim in the world wants to perform Hajj. It starts from 8th to 12th Dahul Hijja and Dahul Hijja is the last month of Islamic lunar calendar.
Over the 2 million of Muslims from all different corners of the world gather in Makkah to perform the Hajj because it is the best chance for everyone to seek forgiveness from Allah, wipe away sins and start life afresh (newborn). If you are lucky with those Muslims who will perform the Hajj then it is your responsibility to look for a best Hajj Package for yourself or for your family. There are two types of packages which are shifting or non-shifting Hajj Packages.
Shifting Hajj Package:
In this package, the Hajjis are always moved from one apartment to another providing residence away from Haram during the top days of Hajj and then bringing them close to Haram Once Hajj days are over.
For example:
First Hajjis leave for Hajj from the UK, after reaching Jeddah, they are moved to apartments named Al-Aziziya situated in the suburbs of Makkah. In Aziziya apartment you can attend the Hajj workshops and training classes to prepare for Hajj. Hajjis stay in Al-Aziziya for around 5 to 6 days with a shuttle service to Haram.On seventh Dahul Hijja, the group is moved to Mina for 5 days of Hajj. After finishing the Hajj, hajjis return to the apartments and stay there for 3 more days.
Afterward, they are moved to the hotels near Haram and remain there for the number of days distributed to their group after which most of them depart for Madina.
Non-Shifting Hajj Package:
In this Cheap Hajj Package Hajjis are always kept at a single location in Makkah and Madina close to Haram.
For example:
After reaching Jeddah, Hajjis are moved to the hotel in Makkah close Haram. They will stay in these hotels until they leave for Hajj on seventh or eighth Dahul Hijja. After completing Hajj, they come back to a similar hotel.
The residence stays available to the Hajjis at all times and they have the approach to rooms even in Hajj days. Hajjis stay in the hotel for two or three more days after Hajj and then depart for Madina and finally back home.
