According to the guidelines, women are allowed to wear clothing of their choice for the pilgrimage or Umrah, provided they meet the following conditions:
1) The clothing should be loose-fitting and spacious.
2) It should not include any decorative elements.
3) The clothing must cover the entire body.
In recent times, Saudi Arabia has introduced various measures to enhance the accessibility of this religious pilgrimage for global visitors. One such measure is the extension of the Umrah visa duration from 30 to 90 days.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
