Background on the Suspension of Pilgrimage Travel
It is worth noting that in March of this year Kyrgyzstan temporarily restricted the organization of Umrah trips. This decision was made due to the worsening situation in the Middle East, and tour operators and carriers were advised to suspend pilgrimage travel until the situation stabilizes.
