The New Hajj Board Chairman, Alhaji Tanko Ibrahim, has announced that the Ghana Hajj fare for 2026 will be GH¢60,000.
This year’s quota has been set at 6,872 pilgrims, with a possibility of increasing to 10,000 after justification, In Sha Allah.
According to sources, the new fare is a result of negotiations between the Hajj Board and service providers. The quota increase is expected to provide more opportunities for Ghanaian Muslims to perform the holy pilgrimage.
It is worth noting that President John Mahama had previously projected a potential reduction in Hajj fare to less than GH¢50,000 for 2026, citing the cedi’s performance against foreign currencies as a determining factor.
However, the actual fare for 2026 has been set at GH¢60,000.
The Ghana Hajj Taskforce had previously reduced the fare from GH¢75,000 to GH¢62,000 for the 2025 pilgrimage, citing diligent negotiations and collaboration with service providersy.
