Hajj draws 1.8 million pilgrims, falls short of record ...Kuwait

This year's annual hajj pilgrimage has drawn more than 1.8 million worshippers, Saudi Arabia's statistics authority said on Tuesday, a long way short of a record despite predictions of peak attendance. The data showed most of the faithful came from abroad. The kingdom's officials had predicted this year's rituals, one of the world's largest religious gatherings, would draw more than 2.5 million pilgrims, making it the largest to date. But official figures carried by the state-run Al Ekhbariya TV showed they were still short of the 2.5 million worshippers who took part in 2019. "The total number of pilgrims for this hajj season is 1,845,045 male and female pilgrims,"
