The Pilgrims Housing Committee has announced that it is now receiving requests to renew and issue leasing licenses of pilgrim accommodation for the next Haj season. Pilgrims Housing Committee Head Mazen Al-Sannary said it will start accepting requests on Sunday and the process will continue until March 28, 2017. "The licenses are granted through architecture offices accredited by the committee. Citizens can look at the building plans through the architecture offices. Licenses will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis," said Al-Sannary. He added that the licenses will be granted after ensuring that all safety and security procedures are followed. "Some of the building owners have already received notices from the committee to comply with safety and security regulations. The committee is ready to receive suggestions to improve and develop the housing service for pilgrims," said Al-Sannary.
