Saudi Arabia has mobilized all resources to serve the pilgrims, ensure their safety, and use artificial intelligence tools and applications for their convenience.
Saudi Arabia expects more than two million pilgrims from over 160 countries during this Haj season after the lifting of COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions.
The Haj pilgrimage to Makkah is a mandatory religious duty that must be performed by those Muslims who are physically and financially able to perform it, at least once in a lifetime.
