Ministry of Hajj Takes Control of Muna and Arafah Facilities
The meeting with Manasek Mashaer commenced after midnight on 6 October 2026, with three officers representing the company. They informed that the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah had ceased all engagements with companies regarding facilities in Muna and Arafah, asserting ownership over the buildings.
New regulations will be released, requiring companies to apply for control over facilities. Manasek provided over a hundred documents via WhatsApp, including certificates of distinction, showing they were rated third-best in pilgrim services during the last Hajj.
Notably, they discussed the Abraj Tower in Mina, which is crucial for VIP services, as it was previously part of their offerings. This information was significant, as it had not been disclosed in earlier meetings, where the topic of VIP services was downplayed.
