RIYADH: The Ministry of Interior has stressed that businesses and enterprises that provide Hajj and Umrah services must closely follow all applicable laws and guidelines in Saudi Arabia. According to the ministry, any company or facility that serves pilgrims and Umrah performers and fails to promptly notify the appropriate authorities of those who stay in the Kingdom after their permitted stay may face financial penalties.
The Saudi Press Agency said Monday that the penalties, which can amount to SR100,000 ($26,600), will be increased by the number of people who miss their departure deadlines. Matarat Holding Co. said Monday that from the first day of Ramadan until the seventh day of Shawwal, over 6.8 million travelers and Umrah performers traveled via four Saudi airports.
Among these were Taif International Airport, Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, and Prince Abdulmohsen bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Yanbu. Over 4.6 million passengers, including arrivals and departures, traveled internationally, while 2.1 million traveled on domestic flights.
