The presidency aims to facilitate visitors at the holy sites in Makkah and Madinah.

Worshipers and umrah (the minor hajj) pilgrims recently returned to the courtyards of the Grand Mosque in Makkah after authorities announced the lifting of COVID-19 precautionary measures and the return to normalcy in the Kingdom.
