The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has today started to receive International pilgrims as part of the third phase in the gradual resumption of Umrah.

Following the announcement by the British Prime Minister on Saturday 31st October 2020 of a new National Lockdown there is likely to be restrictions on travel and we advise all British pilgrims to monitor announcements from the Saudi authorities before planning and booking a Hajj or Umrah package and follow the travel advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office which is currently advising against all but essential travel to Saudi Arabia.

Ends.
