According to the Saudi Statistical Institute, the number of Hajj pilgrims this year was more than 1.8 million.

The Saudi Statistical Institute from Riyadh further said that the number of pilgrims has been much less than the estimates. This year, 18 lakh 45 thousand 45 male and female pilgrims participated in Hajj. Compared to last year, the number of pilgrims this year is 926,000 more.

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.
