Hajj 2027 in Ghana: Fare, Accredited Agents and Scams to Avoid

Short answer: for Hajj 2027, Ghana's Pilgrims Affairs Office has approved 42 accredited agents, and the official fare was reported unchanged at GH¢60,000. Reports in September 2026 said payments had closed to avoid oversubscription. Anyone now selling "remaining Hajj slots" outside the official process should be treated as a likely scam.
