Field tours by the tourism Hajj mission noted that a large number of economy and land pilgrims benefited from the "accommodation upgrade" system in the 1447 AH-2026 Hajj season, staying in 5-star hotels overlooking and close to the Grand Mosque in Makkah, as part of travel companies' efforts to provide pilgrims with the greatest comfort.
The mission's reports also confirmed that some pilgrims on the upgraded economy and land Hajj programs were able to spend up to 10 full days in 5-star hotels next to the Grand Mosque, under the upgrade arrangements provided to pilgrims. This offered a great deal of comfort, especially for the elderly and humanitarian cases, and enabled them to perform prayers and rituals at the Grand Mosque with ease.
