Hi,

I would like to inquire on the nature of the law for land specifically in Mecca. If I, as a non-Saudi, were to make an acquisition for a property in Mecca using loans from non- Saudi banks, can the banks have a legal charge on the land that the property was built on?

Understand that due the nature of the holy land of both Mecca and Medina, non-Saudi individuals/entities are not allowed to own the assets, thus possibly concluding that any legal charge on the land would not be feasible.

I would like to sincerely apologize on the sudden email regarding this enquiries as we are currently seeking for an advice from an expert such as your firm for clarification on this matter. We truly appreciate your kind response on this matter. Thank you.
