Abu Dhabi: Saudi Arabia’s General Presidency of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque Affairs said one million women had performed Umrah and offered prayers in the Grand Mosque in total since the gradual resumption of rituals began on October 4.
The third phase, which started on November 1, permitted pilgrims from abroad to perform the ritual alongside residents of the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia suspended Umrah in March and significantly downsized the Haj pilgrimage in July by only allowing about 10,000 pilgrims, all in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
All visas from abroad that have been filed through accredited agents and the offices of certified Umrah companies have been accepted, provided they fulfilled the necessary requirements.
