Saudi Arabia will allow pilgrims from 65 countries to visit other places in the country not only Makkah or Medinah. According to Archaeology news Prince Sultan ben Salman, president of SCTA said that pilgrims will have great benefit with the program Umrah+Tourism. They will be permited to visit interesting places like Madian Saleh(the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saudi Arabia), Madian Shuaib, Haqel, Abha and Taif.
