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-Awwal 1447 AH exceeded 1.7 million, representing various Islamic and other countries around the world.
Official statistics showed that the total number of Umrah performances by pilgrims from inside and outside the Kingdom during the same month exceeded 13.9 million, an indicator reflecting the impact of digital facilitation and integrated logistics services that have helped ease arrival procedures and the performance of rituals with ease and peace of mind, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
This increase in the number of Umrah performances is part of the Kingdom's ongoing 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 spiritual experience that cares for the comfort and safety of pilgrims from the moment they plan their trip until they leave the Kingdom.
The ministry and the authority continue to implement joint initiatives to raise the quality of services provided within the Two Holy Mosques and at various points of the journey, as well as developing digital and operational systems to ensure a more flexible and seamless experience for the Guests of Allah.
