The main aim behind this initiative is to broaden the economic activity of tourist destinations when hundreds and thousands of people came here to Perform Umrah hence visit tourist attractions, malls, shopping centers, holy places. In spite of that many persons perform umrah as well as want to do business work, go to exhibitions, marketing, business tours etc.

This program is collaborated with other government institution such as MOI, MOFA, and Hajj Ministry of KSA.

      There is no Ban for Performing Hajj and Umrah in case of Huroob but you first have to consult travel agencies and show them your situation
