Why am I not allowed to go for Hajj via Riyadh when the Ministry of Hajj website clearly states that I can?
We've purchased tickets to Saudi for the Hajj pilgrimage via Riyadh, and spent more than $8000 in tickets. According to the Ministry of Hajj website, pilgrims can enter via Riyadh and Dammam. The website states the following:
Among the land inlets are: Halat Ammar, Jadidat Arar, Al Ragei, Salwa, King Fahd Causeway, Al Khadra, Al Tewal, Elab and Al Wadeah. hajinformation.com/main/t30.h
However, the airline is claiming that this is not possible because IATA states pilgrims can only enter through Jeddah.

Any thoughts?
Please notify IATA, This will benefit the Ummah tremendously. Jazakallah Khair.
I encourage everyone to notify IATA through this email:
[email protected]
I have forwarded this information to Iata and they will update this information shortly. I highly recommend all you brothers and sisters to also contact Iata and forward them this news so it can be updated on their website. This will help our Ummah tremendously and help break the monopoly of just entering from Jeddah. Jazakallah Khair.
