The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia made an important appeal to the pilgrims to facilitate circumambulation during the Umrah during the last ten days of the blessed month of Ramadan.

The ministry said, via its Twitter account: "Towards an easy circumambulation in the last ten days, the guest of Rahman in the last ten days, he contributed to the facilitation of circumambulation and the flow of its path".

The Ministry has set some directives, namely:

** Shortening standing next to the Black Stone

** Walking in the direction of the circumambulation, entering and exiting

** Praying two rak’ahs of circumambulation anywhere in the mosque

** Commitment to the directives and advice of security men

In a related context, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah called on the pilgrims coming to Makkah to commit to performing the rituals of Umrah during the period specified for the visa.

The ministry stated that the visit visa, which extends for 90 days, does not include the performance of Hajj rituals.

She also stressed, according to local means, the need to complete the rituals of Umrah, and to leave before the expiry of the visa period.
