JEDDAH, July 26, 2020
Pilgrims selected to perform Hajj rituals this year arrived yesterday (July 25) at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah from five Saudi cities.
The pilgrims came from Madinah, Riyadh, Abha, Tabuk and Jazan, said a Saudi Press Agency report.
Precautionary and preventive measures were implemented in order to ensure the health and safety of pilgrims and service providers. A special lane was allocated for the pilgrims to facilitate their entry procedures and expedite transfer to their residence in Makkah.
The pilgrims will undergo institutional isolation before heading to Mina, where they will spend the day of Tarwiyah, the report said.
