Hajj 2022 A Success: Official

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The governor of the Mecca Region and president of Saudi Arabia’s Central Hajj Committee said this year’s Hajj season has been a success.

“I am pleased to announce that this year’s pilgrimage has been successful on the security, service and health fronts,” Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, said in a report from state news agency SPA.
