Egypt has been allocated 78,000 hajj visas in 2018 for both the lottery and private sector hajj visas, Saudi Ambassador in Cairo Osama al-Nugali said Monday (August 6th).
Al-Nugali added that the Saudi embassy in Cairo spared no effort to ease the procedures of getting the visas, and meeting other requirements for the pilgrims, Egypt's Ahram Online reported.
The embassy is also co-operating with the Egyptian hajj mission and providing it with the needed support to accomplish its duties, the ambassador said.
