Egypt cracks down on tourism cos after hundreds of pilgrims die during Hajj

Quick Summary:

Reuters reported that some travel agencies may not have officially registered for the pilgrimage, to get around the high costs of package tours.

The number of unregistered visitors could have left Saudi Arabia unprepared for dealing with such a large influx of people.

There were also complaints that pilgrims were not given access to enough cooling stations or water amid the intense heat.
