One of the five pillars of Islam, Hajj must be undertaken by all Muslims who have the means at least once in their lives.
Earlier, Saudi authorities announced they would only let 1,000 pilgrims take part after the onset of the pandemic in 2020.
However, in April this year the kingdom announced it would permit one million Muslims from inside and outside the country to participate in this year's Hajj.
