The Crime Desk: Holy Hajj is going to be held in the middle of June. As a result, pilgrims from all over the world will start flocking to the holy city of Mecca by the end of May. And this year, Saudi Arabia has started preparations with the idea that a record number of 2 million pilgrims may gather in Mecca.
Saudi government and private institutions are working together, keeping in mind that Hajira can complete Hajj beautifully and comfortably.
After a record number of 30 million people performed Umrah in the month of Ramadan, the Hajj-related agencies are expecting that the pilgrims will come down this year.
In the recently departed holy month of Ramadan, 3 crore 3 million people offered prayers at the Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. During Ramadan, 9 million people come to Madinah through Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport. Many people visit Medina before and after Hajj.
Meanwhile, more than 18 lakh people performed Hajj last year. Due to the Corona epidemic, a certain number of people were given the opportunity to perform Hajj in the previous three years. But in 2023, all restrictions were lifted. By this, more than 1.8 million people came to Mecca to perform Hajj. Their expectation is that this time more people will come to perform Hajj than last time. And so preparations for Hajj started long ago.
