The facilities they receive are very special. Various luxurious facilities are provided free of charge. In addition, another artist who is also performing the Hajj this year is Raffi Ahmad and his family. Raffi is known to be performing the Hajj using the Furoda Luxury Hajj package. It is rumored that he will be staying in a very luxurious hotel.

This car is categorized as a luxury vehicle with prices ranging from Rp962 million for the Luxury Standard variant to Rp1 billion for the Luxury Touring variant.

2. They Also Get Luxury Hotel Facilities

The next group of pilgrims will be taken to The Hotel Galleria Jeddah for accommodation. The room rate for the King Guest Room is around Rp2.5 million per night, while for the King Executive Room, it costs Rp3.2 million per night. Of course, this rare opportunity is free of charge.

Risty shared her journey while performing the Hajj pilgrimage, which was facilitated by the Saudi Arabian government, including her visit to the royal Zamzam water packaging factory in Mecca, known as Al Zamazameh Corporation. The factory produces packaged Zamzam water that is popular among Hajj pilgrims from various parts of the world.

To enter the factory, every visitor must undergo sterilization processes according to the applicable regulations. Upon arrival, Risty, along with Wirda and other pilgrims, were warmly welcomed and offered a glass of cold Zamzam water.

Risty felt refreshed by the water, especially in the midst of the 45 degrees Celsius temperature. She then continued her visit to a room that explained the history of the Zamzam well in the Masjid al-Haram until the water could finally be enjoyed by the public.

5. Meanwhile, Raffi Ahmad Gets a Hotel Facility Facing the Ka'bah

Unlike Risty Tagor and Wirda Mansur who were invited by King Salman for a free hajj, Raffi Ahmad chose the Haji Furoda Luxury package with a cost of more than Rp500 million per individual. This includes himself, several family members, and three staff members from RANS.

One of the facilities of the package is accommodation in a five-star hotel during their stay in the Holy Land. This information can be seen in the Instagram Story post by @raffinagita1717 on Sunday, June 9, 2024, which was reshared by the TikTok account @sobatmanfaat__. Raffi and his entourage stayed at the InterContinental Dar Al Tawhid Makkah.

From the map on the Traveloka website, this five-star hotel is known as one of the closest to the Masjidil Haram, with a distance of about 422 meters. The close proximity to the Masjidil Haram is also a major value of the hotel, as stated on its official website.

6. Luxurious Hotel Room Facilities

The hotel room is truly stunning. The condition of their room was revealed by three RANS staff, consisting of two single beds. Next to one of the beds, there is a large wardrobe, and a large television facing the bed, there is also a bathroom.

As a five-star hotel, the rental cost of the room is truly fantastic, starting from Rp6.7 million at the end of June 2024. This price is considered equivalent to the distance to the Ka'bah that can be reached on foot from the hotel.
