Biggest Umrah ever: Saudi sets new record with 11.7 million pilgrims in the month of October
Saudi Arabia recorded over 11.7 million Umrah performers in Rabi al-Thani, with 1.5 million arriving internationally. The pilgrimage was remarkably efficient, with the entire ritual completed in an average of 116 minutes. This surge is attributed to digital platforms, policy liberalizations, and improved logistics under Vision 2030.
