While announcing the Umrah season calendar for the year 1447 AH, the Saudi Ministry of Haj and Umrah said the announcement is a part of its preparations to serve pilgrims and visitors to the Prophet's Mosque coming from outside the Kingdom with Umrah visas.

During the Second Umrah and Ziyarah Forum (UZF 2025) held in Madinah in April, Minister of Haj and Umrah Dr Tawfiq Al-Rabiah revealed that over 6.5 million international pilgrims performed Umrah in the first quarter of 2025 marking an 11% year-on-year increase.

Umrah is a voluntary pilgrimage to Makkah which can be performed any time of the year. This is unlike Hajj which is performed once in a year and during the month of Dhul Hujjah.

Also, Hajj – one of the five pillars of Islam, is mandatory and compulsory for Muslims, men and women both, who can afford travel cost.

The Hajj rituals this year started on June 04, 2025 with standing on Mount Arafat on June 05, 2025. The Hajj officially ended on June 09, 2025.
