In a groundbreaking achievement, Saudi Arabia welcomed over 18.5 million pilgrims for Hajj and Umrah in 2024, marking a historic milestone in the Kingdom’s efforts to enhance the spiritual journeys of visitors from across the globe!

Speaking at the fourth edition of the Hajj and Umrah Conference and Exhibition in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Tawfiq al-Rabiah, attributed this success to the visionary directives of King Salman and the unwavering support of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The Kingdom’s leadership has been instrumental in transforming the pilgrimage experience, making it seamless, spiritual, and accessible for millions.

One standout achievement highlighted during the conference was the significant increase in visitors to al-Rawdah al-Sharifah at the Prophet’s Mosque

With strategic enhancements to the workforce, simplified online booking systems, and a professional crowd management approach, the number of visitors surged from 4 million in 2022 to an impressive 13 million in 2024.
