Thirty percent of them are Saudi citizens while the remaining seventy percent are foreign nationals residing in the kingdom.
Earlier, the Saudi government held an online lottery to decide the lucky few who would be allowed to take part in the Hajj, leading to jubilation among the lucky few and bitter disappointment for many others.
