Hajj Committee: 70% Pilgrims Return for New Visas
Nasir Turki, a member of the Higher Committee for Hajj and Umrah, revealed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has implemented a new evaluation system for local and international Umrah companies aimed at organizing trips and avoiding congestion. The system requires any company sending 100 pilgrims to repatriate 70% of them before obtaining new visas. He explained that this system seeks to address violations such as pilgrims entering the Mataf area wearing only Ihram clothing, which contributes to overcrowding—especially from nationalities that utilize the Umrah visa's validity of up to 90 days, whereas Egyptian programs are limited to a maximum of 15 days. He also confirmed that the new system monitors the organized exit of pilgrims through the "Egyptian Umrah Portal," ensuring compliance with distance and quality regulations. The goal is to guarantee the safety of the capacities of the Two Holy Mosques.
