Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque announced that the number of Umrah pilgrims arriving from outside the Kingdom in the month of Rajab 1447 AH alone exceeded two million, representing various countries of the world, confirming the impact of the digital facilities and integrated logistics services that have helped ease arrival procedures and the performance of rituals.
The statistics showed that the total number of Umrah performances by pilgrims from inside and outside the Kingdom exceeded 14.8 million during the month of Rajab alone, according to official statistics issued by the two bodies, reflecting the rising pace of Umrah performance amid the efficiency of the system of services and facilities provided to the Guests of Al-Rahman, according to a post on the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's Facebook page.
This rise in the number of Umrah performances comes as part of the Kingdom's continuous efforts to develop the Hajj, Umrah and visit system and achieve the targets of Saudi Vision 2030 by easing access for Muslims from around the world to the Two Holy Mosques and providing an integrated spiritual experience that cares for the pilgrim's comfort and safety from the moment the trip is planned until departure from the Kingdom.
The ministry and the authority continue to implement joint initiatives to raise the quality of services provided inside the Two Holy Mosques and at various points of the journey, along with developing digital and operational systems to ensure a smoother and easier experience for the Guests of Al-Rahman.
