Umrah Agency Contract Documentation for the New Season Starts Next Sunday

Egyptian tourism companies are preparing to begin the 1448 Hijri Umrah season, with procedures for verifying the contracts of Umrah agencies and selecting accommodation options set to start next Sunday, following the approval of new regulations by the Ministry of Tourism. There are also arrangements underway to organize land and air trips at various prices and schedules. While the procedures indicate that the first flights are expected to depart before the end of the month, the suspension of three airlines from transporting pilgrims due to violations related to issuing tickets that exceed capacity has caused market disruption and limited options for pilgrims, which could lead to increased travel costs.
