Saudi Arabia lifts restrictions on numbers of Hajj pilgrims
ANKARA (AA) – Saudi Arabia said Monday it would welcome pilgrims to perform Hajj with the same numbers as before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The number of pilgrims will return to what it was before the pandemic, without any age limit,” Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq al-Rabiah said in Riyadh.
The minister said Hajj missions from around the world would be allowed to agree with any authorized company to provide services in Saudi Arabia.
“Together with our partners, we launched NUSK platform to facilitate procedures and enrich the experience of the pilgrims,” he added.
Saudi Arabia held downsized Hajj in the last three years due to restrictions imposed to fight COVID-19.
