Saudi Arabia's rail network carried millions of pilgrims during Hajj 2026, with the Mashair Metro shuttling worshippers between the holy sites and the Haramain high-speed line linking Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has set the key dates for the 1448 AH Umrah season and reminded pilgrims that visa holders must now enter the Kingdom within a shorter window after issuance.
Saudi statistics show more than 11.2 million pilgrims performed Umrah in the fourth quarter of 2025, split almost evenly between visitors from abroad and worshippers already inside the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia has approved its first international airport for Makkah and advanced plans for a city metro, aiming to give pilgrims direct access and ease congestion under Vision 2030.
Pilgrims can now perform Umrah on tourist, transit, business and other valid Saudi visas as the 1448 AH season opens, though Nusuk bookings and a 30-day visa window apply.
The General Authority for the Two Holy Mosques has rolled out a coordinated package of guidance, welfare and mobility services to support pilgrims visiting Madinah after Hajj 2026.
