Saudi Arabia Expels 300,000 Unregistered Hajj Pilgrims

Thousands of unregistered Hajj pilgrims have been expelled from the holy city of Mecca by Saudi security forces. This information was reported by Al Arabiya on Sunday.

Recently, authorities have expelled 153,998 foreign nationals from Mecca. These individuals had arrived in Saudi Arabia via flights from abroad, most of them on tourist visas.

According to the state media outlet SPA, they were expelled because they did not have Hajj visas. Additionally, another 171,587 individuals were removed from Mecca. These people are residents of Saudi Arabia but not of Mecca, and they did not have permission to perform Hajj
