Muslims will embark on Wednesday on the annual haj pilgrimage, one of the five pillars of Islam, which this year takes place on a greatly reduced scale due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The holy city of Mecca, where more than two million believers generally converge over several days of rituals to return to the last pilgrimage of the prophet Muhammad, will not be open to more than 10,000 people.
