Forced subsistence raises Umrah costs
Saudi Arabia announced the start of implementing the mandatory accommodation system for economic Umrah programs beginning August 14. This system is limited to hotels with a star rating up to three stars and includes four countries, among them Egypt. As a result, the prices of Umrah packages have increased by approximately 4,000 to 5,000 Egyptian pounds. There has also been a direct impact on the quality of meals provided, with pilgrims facing issues related to meeting their nutritional and health needs, especially given the lack of clarity regarding the standards used and the sudden enforcement of the decision. It is expected that more observations and negative repercussions will become apparent as the system continues to be applied.
