The Holy Capital Municipality of Makkah has opened applications for seasonal food truck licenses ahead of the 1447 AH Hajj season.
The process begins on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, as part of the municipality’s wider effort to organise commercial services and prepare the city for the arrival of pilgrims.
What Applicants Must Follow
Operators applying for a license are required to follow the municipality’s approved organisational guide for seasonal trucks.
Each truck must stay within the space assigned under its signed contract and carry out only the activity type listed for its location under the approved classification system.
The municipality made clear that applications will be assessed against set standards covering service quality and site organisation.
Three-Day Licensing Deadline
Once an application is submitted, the operator has three days to complete all licensing procedures. The municipality also expects operators to be active for the full operational period assigned to them. Both conditions are tied to meeting the season’s regulatory schedules.
