Mogadishu (HOL) - The Federal government of Somalia's Ministry of Religious Affairs announced on Tuesday the official price for this year's Hajj pilgrimage, revealing a decrease in cost compared to last year. Somali Prime Minister Hamse Abdi Barre stated that this year's fees would be $4,484, a drop from the $5,500 to $6,000 that Somalis paid in previous years. The high cost in previous years created an obstacle for those who wished to perform Hajj and worship God.
