Saudi Arabia expects to receive over 2M Muslim pilgrims this year

MECCA, SAUDI ARABIA - JUNE 14: Saudi Arabia expects to receive over two million Muslim pilgrims this year as Muslims flock to the holy land. In the last three years, the oil-rich kingdom held downsized Hajj due to restrictions imposed to stem the outbreak of COVID-19. Although an increase in the number of Muslim pilgrims is expected this year, Saudi officials said this year’s Hajj pilgrimage will be “exceptional, distinguished and safe.” In 2022, over 899,999 Muslim pilgrims visited Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, according to official figures. In 2021, the kingdom welcomed up to 60,000 pilgrims from inside Saudi Arabia amid COVID-19 restrictions, while only 10,000 performed the ritual in 2020.
