Egyptian women above 25 to perform Hajj without guardian in 2024

Saudi Arabia will allow Egyptian women above the age of 25 to perform Hajj pilgrimage without a male guardian, starting March 2024, said the Egyptian Tourism Federation (ETF) on Wednesday.

In 2022, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah amended the regulation, allowing women to undertake the pilgrimage unaccompanied by a mahram or male guardian, provided they were in the company of a reliable group of women.
