Saudi: Hajj 2022 to witness increase in foreign pilgrims
The largest percentage during Hajj 2022 will be for pilgrims coming from outside Saudi Arabia, and all countries are allowed to participate in Hajj without any exception.
The decision to set aside the largest percentage of Hajj for pilgrims from abroad is to give them the opportunity, especially after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which did not enable them to perform the Hajj rituals.
However, the Kingdom welcomes all Muslims from all countries of the world and no country will be exempted from performing Hajj.
