The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques confirmed this remarkable figure, highlighting the seamless management of crowds, security, and religious services. Ramadan is a time of intense devotion and worship, and millions of Muslims from around the world travel to Makkah to perform Umrah and engage in prayers at Islam’s holiest site.
