The deputy minister was responding to recent social media reports of the ministry imposing a fee of SR2,000 on domestic Haj and Umrah performers. He told the Saudi Gazette that there has been no announcement yet on levying of the fees by the Ministry of Haj and Umrah.
"There has been a misunderstanding about SR2,000 fee. It is considered an entry fee for the Kingdom, and Haj and Umrah has nothing to do with it; however, those who are entering the Kingdom for the first time will be not be charged as per the instructions of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia," he said during the final day of the first Makkah Economic Forum. "Those who are entering the Kingdom for the second and subsequent entries will be charged SR2,000," he added.
Pointing out that to serve the Kingdom's Vision 2030, the Ministry of Haj and Umrah has launched strategic initiatives in the Haj and Umrah sector. "We are introducing new working mechanism to offer investment opportunities for the private sector. Most of the new initiatives related to Vision 2030 must be executed by the private sector. Makkah Economic Forum gave us the opportunity to present some of these investment opportunities," he said.
