The return of UAE pilgrims from Saudi Arabia will begin on Monday after they completed what has been described as “one of the most successful seasons of Haj”.
Mohammed Obaid Al Mazrouei, head of the Bureau for UAE Pilgrims Affairs, said no accidents or contagious diseases were registered among the local pilgrims this year.
“All pilgrims performed the rites smoothly this year, thanks to the hard work of the bureau’s different committees,” he said.
The return of local pilgrims is expected to be completed by Wednesday.
