Along with the devastating Corona epidemic around the world, travel and tourism in every region have been severely damaged and the virus has paralyzed all walks of life. The epidemic began in China in late 2019 and spread to the rest of the world. From the world's most powerful economies to developing countries in 2020, the Corona epidemic and the measures taken against it have created an economic crisis on the one hand, and on the other hand, people of all religions and sects Largely deprived of duty. Gatherings in places of worship were prohibited. Partly in mosques, shrines, churches and other places of worship, people were not allowed to perform normal duties and perform religious rites. Similarly, in Mecca and Medina, the holiest places for Muslims, there was a partial ban on Umrah and Hajj last year. Then gradually these places were opened with strict supervision and strict regulations. On the eve of the 2020 Hajj, the Saudi monarchy decided to dramatically reduce the number of pilgrims. For the first time in modern history, pilgrims from abroad were not allowed to reach Saudi Arabia for Hajj. Re-permission for Umrah, seven months later.
Now that the worldwide vaccination campaign against corona has begun and most countries have begun to accelerate the campaign, there has been no significant easing in terms of travel and tourism in early 2021. Remained Different countries are partially easing the Corona lockdown depending on their individual internal situation and capabilities. Medical experts and researchers have repeatedly pointed out that despite this year's corona vaccination campaign, the dangers of corona cannot be completely eliminated.

Providing safe and orderly facilities during the Hajj is a major challenge for Saudi Arabia, which attracts a large number of pilgrims each year. There have been several incidents in the past in which pilgrims were crushed, killed or set on fire as a result of a stampede on the occasion of Hajj. These accidents have damaged Saudi Arabia's reputation, which is why the Riyadh government is tightening its rules of discipline on a daily basis.
Last month, Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry banned citizens of 20 countries from entering the country in an effort to contain the corona virus. The ban also applies to citizens of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Turkey, as well as Pakistan and India, and includes European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland.
