Saudi: Non-Umrah pilgrims can perform tawaf on first floor of Grand Mosque

Worshipers other than Umrah performers will now be allowed to perform circumambulation around the Holy Kaaba (tawaf) effective from Thursday, Nov. 25. A new icon titled “Tawaf” has been added to the Eatmarna application to facilitate booking appointments for the performance of tawaf for non-Umrah performers.

The first floor of the Grand Mosque has been set aside to perform tawaf for non-Umrah pilgrims. 3 time slots have been set for the performance of tawaf for the worshipers. The three periods are: from 7:00 to 10:00 in the morning; from 9:00 to 11:59 in the night; and from 12:00 to 3:00 in the early morning.
