The 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 during the month of Jumada al-Akhirah 1447 AH alone exceeded 1.7 million, representing various countries, confirming the impact of the digital facilitation and integrated logistics services that have helped ease arrival procedures and the performance of the rituals.
The statistics showed that the total number of times Umrah was performed by pilgrims from inside and outside the Kingdom during Jumada al-Akhirah alone exceeded 11.9 million, reflecting the rising pace of Umrah performance amid the efficiency of the system of services and facilities provided to the Guests of Allah, according to the Saudi Press Agency website.
This rise in the number of Umrah performances is part of the Kingdom's continuous efforts to develop the Hajj, Umrah and visit system and achieve the targets of Saudi Vision 2030 by facilitating access for Muslims from around the world to the Two Holy Mosques and providing an integrated experience that cares for the pilgrim's comfort and safety from the moment of planning the trip until leaving 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 more reassuring experience for the Guests of Allah.
