90-Day Permit for Hajj Building Use
The Saudi Ministry of Tourism has issued new regulations governing the use of residential buildings in Mecca and Medina as accommodations for pilgrims during the Hajj season. These buildings can be temporarily licensed for a period of 90 days, with no possibility of renewal. The guidelines aim to facilitate the temporary re-utilization of existing buildings and ensure their management by licensed operators, while adhering to safety and quality standards such as providing potable water, reliable electricity, and security and sanitation services. The regulations also emphasize measures such as prohibiting cooking inside the facilities, providing internet speeds of at least 1 Mbps, and separating restrooms for men and women according to the designated categories. Buildings must be closed after the specified period ends. The overall goal of this organization is to ensure the comfort and safety of pilgrims, while preserving their privacy and dignity. Facilities will undergo periodic inspections to guarantee compliance with all specifications during the Hajj season.
