Foreign pilgrims total 1.2 million in 45 days
During the Umrah season from the 15th of Dhu al-Hijjah until the end of Muharram 1448 AH, over 1.27 million pilgrims arrived from outside the Kingdom, representing a 22.5% increase compared to the same period last year. Of these, 931,500 pilgrims entered with Umrah visas. The majority (75%) arrived via air ports, while 25% entered through land and sea borders. Pakistan ranked first with 200,000 pilgrims, followed by Indonesia with 170,000, and Iraq with 130,000. This reflects strong support from leadership and ongoing development of digital and operational services to enhance the pilgrims' experience and improve the quality of services provided.
