MAKKAH — The Makkah region police arrested an Egyptian resident for offering fraudulent Hajj services. The arrest was made after he was found involved in posting advertisements on social media offering fake permits to enter the holy sites. Legal action was taken against him and he was referred to the Public Prosecution.
The General Directorate of Public Security urged Saudi citizens and expatriates to adhere to Hajj regulations and guidelines and to report about violators by calling over the number 911 in the regions of Makkah, Riyadh, Madinah, and Eastern Province, or 999 in other regions of the Kingdom.
