Dur Hospitality Co. extended a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the General Authority of Awqaf regarding studying the establishment of a company to develop land plot number (125) in Madinah, located in the northern area of Al Masjid in Nabawi, according to a bourse statement on Tuesday.

The deal was extended for three months, ending March 31, 2020.

The land spans over an area of 1,379 square meters and will be used to build and operate a 5-star hotel under the brand Makarem.
