Finally the pilgrimage will take place in this year of 1441 of the Hegira. This is what Saudi Arabia decided while maintaining a level of health security in the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia has decided to maintain the pilgrimage with a very limited number of faithful of different nationalities in the kingdom only, announced the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Tunis, Mohamed Ben Mahmoud El Ali.
The objective is to make it possible to accomplish these rituals, while ensuring health security and social distancing to protect pilgrims against the coronavirus, he told TAP.
And to recall that the entry of the pilgrims going to Saudi Arabia had been suspended on February 27, 2020 with a view to combating the propagation of the coronavirus.
As such, 42 Charter Flights Tunis-J-Jeddah and Tunis-Medina, including 28 Tunisair and 14 Nouvelair flights, scheduled for the 2019-2020 season of the Petit Pilgrimage (OMRA), had been canceled, following the decision of Saudi Arabia to suspend the entrance to its territory of pilgrims.
