The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah decided earlier to raise the number of pilgrims from inside and outside the Kingdom to one million this year, based on the quota allocated to each country, Argaam reported.

 

The ministry added that the move came as part of the Saudi government’s keenness to ensure the safety of pilgrims and allow the largest possible number of pilgrims to perform Hajj and Umrah, while preserving the health gains achieved by the Kingdom in overcoming the coronavirus.
