Makkah: The Ministry of Tourism announced it will increase its monitoring and inspection of various tourist hospitality facilities in Makkah, including hotels, serviced apartments, and others. The goal is to enhance the quality of services provided to pilgrims during this year’s Hajj season, which takes place in 1445 AH. These tours are being conducted under the guidance and supervision of Minister of Tourism Ahmed bin Aqeel Al-Khateeb.

Coinciding with this year’s Hajj season, the ministry’s oversight teams have already carried out over 4,500 monitoring and inspection tours of hospitality facilities in Makkah. During the tours, they identified more than 4,700 violations, most of which were related to low cleanliness and maintenance standards and activities carried out without obtaining the necessary licenses.

The inspection tours are part of the Ministry of Tourism’s active efforts to serve pilgrims. They aim to provide them with the best services and facilities to make their Hajj rituals as smooth and reas
suring as possible. The ministry also encourages pilgrims to submit inquiries and feedback about the services through its official social-media channels or by contacting the unified center at 930.
