Royal Air Maroc (RAM) and other airlines have decided to extend the validity of travelers’ tickets after Saudi Arabia temporarily suspended the Umrah due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The temporary suspension of entry into Saudi territory of pilgrims for Umrah due to the coronavirus is already causing difficulties for Moroccans.
The Foreign Exchange Office has set new rules governing transfers related to the accommodation costs of Moroccan pilgrims in Saudi Arabia.
A 7-year-old child, accompanying his parents to Mecca to perform the Umrah rites, disappeared from the hotel where his family was staying. This situation has alerted the Saudi authorities as well as the diplomatic services of the two countries.
