JEDDAH – Elaf Group of Companies for Travel, Tourism and Hotels has signed a strategic contract to accommodate 6,000 pilgrims from Egypt during the 1433 Haj season at the Elaf Al Multaqa Hotel, Makkah.



The move is set to achieve better cooperation with the Egyptian market. It also follows recent industry reports which expect this year’s Haj season to gain more momentum as travel and tourism agencies ensure compliance with the directives of the Ministry of Haj.



The contract was signed by Ziyad bin Mafhouz, President, Elaf Group of Companies for Travel, Tourism and Hotels; and Major General Mohammed Ibrahim Al Attar, Assistant Minister for Interior, in the presence of Mohammed Effat, Vice President, and Ahmed Abdullah, Sales & Marketing Manager, Elaf Group.



Bin Mafhouz stressed on the need to use all available resources to reinforce relations with neighboring countries and Egypt in particular, as well as to meet all the needs of pilgrims and Ummrah performers. “Our development-oriented moves aim to provide better and value-added services to guests,” he added.



During the event, Bin Mahfouz also disclosed Elaf’s upcoming project, namely the Elaf Bakkah Hotel, which is set to offer up to 835 rooms. – SG
