Mohamed Shaalan, First Undersecretary of the Ministry of Tourism and head of the tourism Hajj mission, along with a number of mission members, inspected the camps of tourism company pilgrims in Arafat and Mina to ensure that the accommodation is ready to receive the guests of the Most Merciful as agreed in the contracts.
The mission called on the field service of the National Establishment of Mutawwifs for Pilgrims of Arab Countries to speed up the handover of the camps, after it emerged that 70% of the preparations had been completed. A circular was issued to tourism companies urging their representatives to complete taking over the camps today, Monday, ahead of the pilgrims' move to Arafat on Wednesday.
In a related context, Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities and head of the official Hajj mission, praised the efforts of the tourism Hajj mission during his inspection of its headquarters, as well as its swift intervention to address any shortcomings or problems that may arise, the serious oversight it carries out to ensure tourism companies' commitment to the programs agreed with the pilgrims, and the full coordination between the official mission and the specialized missions.
Madbouly called for continuous, round-the-clock follow-up of the pilgrims and the provision of all means of comfort for them, including tireless efforts in receiving lost pilgrims who come to the mission and resolving any problem they face.
