The Ministry of Tourism today, Wednesday, approved the request submitted by the Chamber of Tourism Companies to extend the period for registering citizens' names in the tourist Hajj lottery on the dedicated Hajj website until Tuesday, June 20, corresponding to 25 Ramadan, instead of tomorrow, June 8, corresponding to 13 Ramadan, with the lottery to be held after Eid al-Fitr instead of on the 15th of this month.
Iman Samy, head of the religious tourism committee of the caretaker committee running the Chamber of Tourism Companies, had sent a letter to Minister of Tourism Yehia Rashed requesting an extension of the registration period for citizens wishing to perform Hajj in 1438 AH on the Ministry of Interior's unified electronic lottery portal, as the companies organizing Hajj trips this year had requested this to make up for the delay in opening registration.
The Chamber of Tourism Companies sent a notice to the companies organizing tourist Hajj trips, and “Travel Yalla News” obtained a copy of the letter.
