Egypt Pilgrims Disappointed By Umrah Age Limit

Mr. Turk explained many thousands of people are likely affected by this ban which will reduce the number of Egyptian pilgrims by 35%. Many families were forced to cancel their pilgrimage because a family member was either over age 65 or younger than 25. The owner of one of the biggest tourism and travel companies in the Kingdom says the rules have caused confusion. He said “To their disappointment, some pilgrims are coming to Cairo from distant places only to find out that they have been banned from entering the Kingdom.”
