Hajj package prices to soar 20% as new tent rules drive up costs
TDT | Manama Bahraini pilgrims who hoped for more affordable Hajj packages are instead confronting a steep price shock, as campaigns confirmed that 2026 packages will cost up to 20 percent more. The increase comes after last year's unexpected losses, with organisers citing higher operational expenses, particularly new requirements for tents in Arafat and Mina. Rising costs The reversal from earlier savings hopes to rising costs is striking. Campaign operators, who declined to be named, said expenses linked to new service standards had forced them to increase prices by BD200 to BD250. The adjustment translates into a 15 to 20 percent rise across most packages. A source added that the hikes are seen as necessary to prevent a repeat of last year's financial setbacks. Regulatory spotlight The Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs, and Endowments has already received 67 applications from Bahraini campaigns seeking approval to operate next season. A meeting between the operators and the Supreme Committee for Hajj and Umrah Affairs is expected in the coming weeks to review preparations. Dr. Ali Ameen Al-Rayyes, Director of Religious Affairs at the Ministry and Deputy Head of Bahrain's Hajj Mission, confirmed that new regulations will soon take effect. The rules will prevent campaigns from advertising packages or prices until they receive official approval. Transparency push Campaigns may still hold promotional exhibitions, but only if their content exactly matches the ministry-approved profile published online. Al-Rayyes stressed that the changes aim to build trust by ensuring pilgrims receive accurate and reliable information. The regulations will also prohibit free Hajj offers or competitions that promise packages, closing the door on misleading promotions. For pilgrims, the season ahead will bring clearer safeguards and stricter oversight, but it will also place a heavier burden on families already budgeting carefully for the spiritual journey of a lifetime.

Fifth Minor Criminal Court Acquits Asian Employee of Embezzlement Charges
TDT | Manama The Fifth Minor Criminal Court has acquitted a woman in her forties, an Asian employee, of charges of embezzling funds from a company managing a chain of restaurants. The defendant was represented by lawyer Reem Al-Mahari, who argued that the case was maliciously filed by the company, which accused the employee of misappropriating company funds. Al-Mahari explained that her client worked in an administrative role, which included receiving checks to cover routine expenses such as workers' and employees' payments, transfers to the Labour Market Regulatory Authority, social insurance contributions, and petty cash. She submitted evidence showing that the funds in question had indeed been transferred to the relevant authorities. She also presented a labor court judgment indicating an unresolved dispute in which the company had withheld the employee's labor rights. The Public Prosecution had charged the defendant with embezzling BD 1,420 between 2023 and 2024, in Muharraq Governorate, alleging she misappropriated cash belonging to the company that was under her custody by virtue of her job. The accusation was based on an accounting report submitted by the complainant, in addition to his statements. However, the court ruled that the evidence presented was insufficient to prove the charges. It noted that the case documents lacked reliable proof linking the defendant to the alleged crime, and that the accounting report did not conclusively establish embezzlement. The expert's findings only confirmed that the defendant had issued seven checks totaling BD 1,420, without proving any wrongdoing. The court further observed that the existence of labor disputes between the defendant and the complainant company added weight to the possibility of malicious intent behind the case. Based on Article 255 of the Criminal Procedure Law No. 46 of 2002, the court concluded that the charges were unsubstantiated and ruled to acquit the defendant.
