Official Statistics Show Over 11.9 Million Umrah Performances in a Single Month
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, in cooperation with the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, announced that the total number of Umrah performances by pilgrims from both inside and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the past month of Jumada al-Akhirah exceeded 11.9 million, according to official statistics issued by both entities. This high figure reflects the increasing pace of Umrah performances, primarily due to the growing efficiency of the system provided with integrated services and facilities for the guests of God.
According to the published statistics, the number of pilgrims arriving from outside the country during the same month exceeded 1.7 million, representing various Islamic and international countries. This necessarily confirms the positive impact of advanced digital facilities and integrated logistical services, which have significantly contributed to simplifying arrival and stay procedures, making the performance of rituals very easy and smooth.
This clear increase in Umrah performances is part of the continuous efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to develop the Hajj, Umrah, and visitation system, and to achieve the goals set for the Saudi Vision 2030 projects. This vision is based on facilitating the access of Muslims from all over the world to the two holy sites, the Two Holy Mosques, and providing an integrated spiritual experience centered primarily on the comfort and safety of the pilgrim, from the moment of planning the trip until the moment of departure.
The Ministry and the Authority continue to jointly implement multiple initiatives aimed at raising the quality of services available within the Two Holy Mosques and in various areas covered by the project, in addition to continuing to develop digital and operational systems to ensure a smoother and more tranquil experience for the guests of God everywhere.
