Jabal Omar Development Company operates the Jabal Omar complex of hotels and residential and commercial property located close to the Grand Mosque in the Muslim holy city of Mecca.

The company said in a statement: “The guarantee was issued after agreeing on a number of representations and warranties to MOF, in addition to updating the mortgage registered previously to include the amount of the guarantee.”

Reuters quoted a source familiar with the matter as saying: “Jabal Omar has been hit hard by Mecca lockdown following Covid-19 and the guarantee would support the main developer of the Mecca complex.”
