Egypt approves new regulations for Umrah trips in 1448 AH
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in Egypt has approved the regulations governing the 1448 AH Umrah season, which include new rules related to program durations, travel arrangements, portal fees, and mechanisms for monitoring pilgrims. The regulations specify that the maximum duration of a program is 15 days, with an exception from 15 Shaaban to 17 Ramadan, during which the duration is extended to 35 days. It is also required that passports have at least six months of validity. Additionally, the regulations mandate the registration of programs and visas via the Egyptian Umrah Portal, prohibit ticket issuance except through approved companies, and specify that fees must be paid in Egyptian pounds. The regulations also obligate companies to provide a certified supervisor for every 50 pilgrims, monitor progress through the "Rafiq" application, and fully adhere to health protocols while delivering the agreed-upon program. Travel arrangements are to be organized from the beginning of Rajab until the end of the Umrah season, with three trips scheduled per month for each company during this period, and 70% of pilgrims must return before new trips commence. The portal barcode fee will amount to 3,100 Egyptian pounds per pilgrim. These regulations aim to organize the Umrah season more precisely and ensure the implementation of health measures and legal requirements.
