On the other hand, according to the Saudi newspaper, more than 2.5 million Hajj pilgrims were expected after the corona virus restrictions were completely lifted.
The Saudi newspaper added that before the Corona epidemic, 2.5 million pilgrims participated in Hajj in 2019. After Corona, only 10 thousand pilgrims were allowed to perform Hajj in 2020.
