UAE cancels licence of 4 Haj operators, 19 others fined

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have cancelled the licences of four Haj operators, and 19 others were fined for violating laws.

In a statement on Tuesday, July 30, the UAE’s General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (Awqaf) said that the actions were taken in response to



complaints from pilgrims during the 1445 AH-2024 Haj season, as reviewed by the Licensing Committee.

The Awqaf emphasised the importance of Haj operators adhering to contracts and maintaining the quality of services promised to pilgrims, stating that negligence contradicts the country’s values.
