Updated school trip guidelines exclude caves and risky sites
The new instructions for organizing trips and visits in educational institutions for the year 2026 emphasize the necessity of obtaining prior approvals from the Directorate before arranging trips inside the kingdom or abroad, according to a specified schedule. Domestic trips are organized during two periods within the academic year, with designated days depending on the type of school and its students. Trips between grades one to six are limited to within the region, with exceptions made for students from grades seven to twelve, who may organize trips up to two days long with prior approval. Additionally, external trips such as performing Umrah and scientific visits are permitted after obtaining the minister's approval. The instructions require the provision of licensed and safe transportation means equipped with tracking devices and cameras, adhering to safety standards. Organizing trips to dangerous locations, such as unlicensed caves or sites requiring coordination with the Tourism Ministry, is prohibited. The regulations also mandate that institutions specify supervisors and chaperones according to defined ratios and submit reports upon return to ensure safety and compliance. These instructions will be effective starting from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
