Ukraine in Arabic | Saudi Arabia denies entry to female pilgrims without guardian

All women under the age of 45 without a legal guardian are not allowed to cross the borders of the Kingdom, The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) said

KYIV/Ukraine in Arabic/ According to GACA, violating female pilgrims will be denied entry and sent back on the same flight. Also violating airlines will be fined $13,331.

These warning instructions are issued annually by GACA to organize the operation of transporting pilgrims.

GACA aims through these instructions to provide care for the pilgrims and ensure their safety, starting from their arrival to the Holy Sites until they are to depart to their homes.

An executive manager at a Hajj company in Jeddah who said the problem is created by Hajj agencies from outside the country.

He said they break the rules issued by the Hajj Ministry.

He added, "Many of these agencies list on the official papers of women with no legal guardian the name of any male member in the group.

“It is a common practice by these agencies and it is hard to prove the relationship between them.

“These agencies aim to earn more money and they will do anything for it.

“They increase the cost of the trip for female pilgrims with no legal guardian and fix them with any name as a legal guardian and most of them agree.

“This is out of our control.”
