Hajj demand to fall by at least 30% as prices go up

The number of applicants for hajj is expected to fall by 30-40% y-o-y as prices increased, tour operators told Al Borsa. They blame the cost increases entirely on the EGP devaluation. A source tells Al Borsa the cheapest hajj package will be by bus and is expected to cost a minimum of EGP 40k.
