RIYADH: The crown prince of Bahrain praised facilities provided by Saudi Arabia to Hajj pilgrims and the great efforts it made to allow them to perform the pilgrimage comfortably and safely this year.

During a meeting at the Riffa Palace with the head of the Bahraini Hajj mission and members of the Supreme Committee for Hajj and Umrah Affairs, Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa said the Kingdom is committed to providing the highest levels of services and facilities to pilgrims.

This is reflected in the continued success of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, Prince Salman said.

This year’s Hajj was the first during which Muslims from outside the Kingdom were able to participate in since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
