Social media has recently been flooded with videos circulating new conditions imposed by Saudi Arabia for those wishing to perform Umrah. In order to verify the veracity of this information, Site Info contacted a travel agency operating in Morocco and abroad. This confirmed that from February 1, people wishing to perform Umrah must be vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis. The same source specified that it is necessary to receive this vaccine at least 10 days before departure for Saudi Arabia. She added that travelers to the Kingdom will be required to provide a meningitis vaccination certificate in order to be allowed to visit the country or perform Umrah rites.
