GASTAT’s methodology relies primarily on administrative records provided by the Ministry of Interior. This approach, consistently used over the past five years, ensures highly accurate and reliable register-based Haj data through a standardised statistical model.
On this occasion, GASTAT President Dr Fahad Aldossari expressed his sincere appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, for their unwavering support and comprehensive care extended to the pilgrims.
