Saudi Arabia suspended Umrah in March and significantly downsized the Hajj pilgrimage in July by only allowing about 1,000 pilgrims, all in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.The Kingdom is getting back on track after earlier lockdowns while adhering to strict health protocols.

On Sept. 22, the Kingdom announced a gradual resumption of Umrah pilgrimage in four phases.

Tourist offices abroad are following their contracts with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah so that pilgrims can come to perform Umrah rituals.
