Saudi Arabia says hajj to be limited to 60,000 in kingdom June 12, 2021 at 12:32AM

In last year's hajj, as few as 1,000 people already residing in Saudi Arabia were selected to take part in the hajj. Two-thirds were foreign residents from among the 160 different nationalities that would have normally been represented at the hajj. One-third were Saudi security personnel and medical staff.
