Saeed Bahashwan, a member of the National Committee for Hajj, Umrah, and Visit Activities, revealed that in the current month of Rajab, and in the months of Sha’ban and Ramadan, there will be an increase in the number of Umrah pilgrims coming from various countries around the world as peak of Umrah season begins.
He pointed out that these months are considered the peak period of the current Umrah season, according to Al Arabiya.
Speaking to Alarabiya.net, he said that the 270 companies and institutions providing Umrah services offer the best services to the pilgrims from their arrival until their departure.
The companies operate in light of the directives of the government to provide the best services to the pilgrims.
The government implemented huge projects to allow the pilgrims to perform their rituals with comfort, tranquility, and safety.
He also indicated that the hotels in the two holy cities will see an increase in occupancy. The increase is due to the increase in numbers as well as a significant revival and increase in commercial activity. These activities include transportation, restaurants, shopping, and the markets for pilgrims’ gifts.
Pilgrims from Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Pakistan, Libya, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, and India, have started to flock to Mecca and Medina to perform the rituals of Umrah and spend time in the precincts of the Two Holy Mosques.
