Since the start of the Umrah season, crowd management at the Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia has organized the arrival and departure of 920,000 worshippers and 408,000 Umrah pilgrims representing 75 percent of total capacity.
The management says it has taken several measures to ensure pilgrims can perform Umrah in ease and peace.
It says it is also taking into consideration the precautionary and preventive measures adopted by the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques and other authorities.
Meanwhile Indonesian pilgrims who arrived in Saudi Arabia for Umrah say they feel “chosen” and “blessed” to be among the limited number of foreign worshippers able to perform the holy ritual.
A decision by the Kingdom to ease Umrah restrictions adopted earlier this year to curb the spread of the coronavirus means pilgrims from around the world are now allowed to perform the ritual and visit Masjid-un-Nabawi in Madinah under strict conditions.
