The announcement coincides with the ongoing Umrah season, which started in July. Umrah, a voluntary Islamic pilgrimage to sacred sites in Saudi Arabia, is a shorter, non-mandatory ritual compared to Hajj and can be undertaken any time of the year.
Each month, thousands of Pakistanis travel to Saudi Arabia to visit the holy sites in Makkah and Madinah for the Umrah pilgrimage.
Last month, Pakistan’s national flag carrier introduced direct Umrah flights from Quetta and Faisalabad to Jeddah to better accommodate pilgrims, with services commencing on August 6.
