Makkah serves millions of pilgrims during Hajj and Umrah, and its businesses work to that rhythm. Hotels near the Central Area and in Al Aziziyah, Umrah service companies, caterers, transport operators and shops along Ibrahim Al Khalil Street all see demand rise sharply in the peak seasons, and every sale still needs a compliant tax invoice.
In those weeks there is no time to fix invoices later. Daftarix issues simplified invoices with a QR code at the counter and standard invoices for companies and agents, in Arabic and English, from one system. When your wave arrives, the same invoices flow to ZATCA through Fatoora: clearance for business customers, and reporting within 24 hours for individuals.

ZATCA e-invoicing in Makkah: common questions
How can hotels in Makkah keep up with invoices during Hajj and Umrah peaks?
Issue every invoice from one system at the moment of payment, so nothing piles up at the end of the season. Simplified invoices for guests carry a QR code and are reported to ZATCA within 24 hours, while invoices to companies are cleared before they are sent.
Do Umrah service companies issue standard or simplified invoices?
It depends on the customer. Invoices to other businesses, such as agents and suppliers, are standard tax invoices and need clearance under Phase 2. Invoices to individual pilgrims are simplified invoices with a QR code, reported within 24 hours.
Can shops near the Central Area issue invoices quickly at busy counters?
Yes. Simplified invoices are created at the point of sale with the QR code ZATCA requires, so each customer gets a compliant invoice without slowing the queue.
Does Daftarix serve businesses in Taif and Al Jumum?
Yes. Daftarix works online, so businesses in Taif, Al Jumum, Al Kamil and Al Lith use the same system as those in Makkah.
