Earlier today, the Cabinet Media Center dismissed false reports that Egyptians holding a visa to Saudi Arabia will be allowed to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) this year.
In a statement, the Cabinet confirmed that it contacted the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, which denied the news and described them as groundless rumors.
The statement clearly read: Those allowed to perform Hajj must hold a pilgrimage visa.
Moreover, the media center appealed to all media outlets and social media users to verify the reports before publishing them and contact the Cabinet to avoid confusion.
