Several Haj missions have completed renting residential buildings for accommodating pilgrims this year as rent contracts were approved by relevant Tawafa organizations. Mansour Abu Raiyash, Chairman of the Makkah Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Real Estate Committee, estimated that 8,000 hotels and rented residential buildings would generate a revenue of over SR5 billion, Al-Watan newspaper said. He said the average amount a pilgrim would pay for accommodation is SR3,000. The Central Zone (hotels and residential buildings) dominates the larger share of accommodation revenues, the official added.
