Saudi Arabia makes no profit from Haj
Published in 07.09.10

Prince Naif, the supreme Hajj committee chairman, Second Deputy Premier and Interior Minister,denied the notion that Saudi Arabia is making profits from the pilgrimage.

The prince added that a number of presidents of state expressed their strong admiration of the way Saudi Arabia has been handling millions of pilgrims coming from all over the world. He also said that any suggestions that can help resolve problems during the Hajj season are welcomed.

Luxury hotels in Mecca were full for Hajj
Luxury hotels around the Grand Mosque in Mecca were running full for this year's Hajj despite hundreds of new rooms opening. "Makkah Hilton & Towers were a sell-out for the month surrounding Hajj," said Shuja Zaidi, the hotel's general manager and vice president for Hilton Worldwide projects in Saudi Arabia.
