Tourism Chamber Announces Hotel Regulations for 1448 AH Pilgrimage
The Chamber of Travel Agencies and Travel Companies announced regulations and procedures for adding new hotels to accommodate pilgrims during the 1448 AH Umrah season. The aim is to organize hotel booking procedures and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The regulations stipulate submitting an electronic application through the Umrah portal, along with attaching the necessary documents such as the Saudi classification and Civil Defense certificate, and having the hotel inspected by the relevant committee. Additionally, it is prohibited to house pilgrims in restricted areas such as Hafar Al-Batin, Al-Hijron, and Al-Mansour Street. Hotels located more than 1,250 meters from the Grand Mosque must be situated on a main street and offer documented transportation services to ensure adequate service for pilgrims. In Medina, accommodation is permitted in hotels no more than 1,400 meters from the Prophet's Mosque, provided they are on a main street within a service area. The regulations also specify the maximum capacity of each hotel based on the number of guests and elevators to guarantee the safety and comfort of pilgrims. From August 25, 2026, the Saudi Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities will have committees in place to oversee the implementation of these procedures.
