Saudi pilgrimage routes face disruption due to war
Reports circulated about a massive explosion at the departure hall of Riyadh Airport last Saturday, resulting in 13 deaths and 300 injuries. Among the injured was a Bangladeshi imam leading a group of pilgrims. The escalation by the Houthi movement has disrupted Umrah and domestic travel within the Kingdom, with some travelers rerouting through Bahrain, Doha, or Dubai. Ticket prices have doubled as a result. Attacks on Saudi airports and facilities, including an Aramco building, have continued. Saudi Arabia confirmed that the safety of visitors and pilgrims remains a top priority, amidst Western warnings about the current conditions at Saudi airports.
