While performing prayers or the umrah pilgrimage, worshippers gathered at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam's holiest site, on Saturday.
Al Ekhbariya's footage showed the faithful supplicating to Allah and encircling the Holy Kaaba as light to medium rains fell. Touching the Kaaba, pilgrims dressed in umrah snow-white robes appeared absorbed in supplications.
In a further relaxation of anti-coronavirus restrictions, Saudi authorities removed preventive barriers around the Kaaba for the first time in over two years.
Umrah pilgrims can now undertake rituals with ease with the removal of the barriers, according to the General Presidency for Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques.
