AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Hajj Tech & Safety Push: SDAIA has switched on smart Mobile Operations Centers for Hajj 1447H, using AI-linked monitoring to speed up coordination across the holy sites, while Saudi’s meteorology center warns of dust-stirring winds and extreme heat (up to 47°C in Makkah) as pilgrims keep arriving. Anti-Scam Enforcement: Saudi says it will not allow Hajj to be exploited, announcing the dismantling of hundreds of fake Hajj campaigns and turning back thousands of violators. Pilgrim Flow: Over 1.6 million pilgrims have reached Saudi Arabia, with trained guides deployed for Pakistani pilgrims as numbers top 160,000. Travel Market Shake-Up: Riyadh Air is set to launch daily Dhaka–Riyadh flights on Aug 1, signaling tougher competition for Saudi-bound travel demand. Regional Pressure: Iran’s intensified Hormuz stance continues to strain travel and shipping in the Gulf, adding uncertainty around the wider travel environment.
