The Administrative Court is expected to issue a verdict today on the Tourism Ministry’s recent decision to impose a fine of SAR 2-3k on travelers who have performed the umrah in recent years, according to Al Shorouk. Tour operators had threatened to take legal action against the decision, claiming it would harm demand. The ministry had included the fee in a set of regulations it issued for this year’s umrah season, which also set a cap of 500k visas for Egyptians.
