good question. have no idea though :)will give it a shot. cos thts the only suitable time to go.heard that last year , people wer allowed to get in saudi on trasit visa during hajj days, but on the condition that they had to exit saudi in 24hours. hoping that border authorities will allow in the same manner. u never know wat the authorities have in mind this tym. they have differnet rules for each day.or else we need to tak uae visa in advance and produce it to them to convince them tht we intend on going to uae itself! just a thought.

i got it issued last thursday. the agent guy tells me that i was the last person to get transit visa stamped. now they aint issuing anymore. yea it states 60days validity. which means we can make use of this visa within 60days of visa stamping..
