Jeddah: The Saudi Ministry of Interior has asked Umrah pilgrims to return from Saudi Arabia before the 21st of this month. Those who return from Saudi Arabia within the specified time will be considered as illegal residents. The ministry aims to send Umrah pilgrims back from Saudi before the arrival of Hajj pilgrims.

Preparations for this year’s Hajj pilgrimage season have begun. Umrah pilgrims are usually requested to return before Hajj pilgrims arrive. It is the responsibility of the respective Umrah service companies to ensure that the foreign Umrah pilgrims return on time. Umrah pilgrims from abroad participating in this year’s Hajj will start arriving in Saudi Arabia from Dul Qaada 1. Foreign pilgrims will arrive in Saudi until the fourth of Dhul Hajj.
