Most Important challenges in the Hajj Season :
One of the most important challenges of the upcoming Hajj season is the loss of a large knowledge and experience people in many sites who provide services to pilgrims.
- He highlighted that, this is because of interruption of 2 consecutive Hajj seasons due to Corona, during which thousands of expertise in the field of Hajj work were laid off, while some of them retired or moved to other fields to work or prevented some of them from participating due to new regulations, including visible lack of field work experience in board of directors of the raft companies because of the election mechanism.
