Hi

I hope you are well

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a domestic flight in Saudi to Jeddah airport for the purpose of Umrah whilst on a business visitors visa?

I have heard that technically you are not allowed to go for Umrah whilst on a business visitors visa but most people are not usually stopped if traveling by road. However in the above case if I landed at Jeddah airport I would need to be in Ihraam so would this cause an issue with the immigration in Jeddah due to the visa type?

Anyone have any experience doing this?

Any info will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Regards
