“In the Two Holy Mosques, we take into account the sanctity of the place, so we have the etiquette of photography, and we preserve the rights of others,” The ministry said via a statement released on Twitter.
The ministry added that pilgrims must obtain a permit from the Nusuk app to perform Umrah, and stressed that they give “importance of their commitment to the specified time.”
