MECCA, July 4 — White-robed worshippers from around the world have packed the streets of Islam's holiest city ahead of the biggest hajj pilgrimage since the coronavirus pandemic began.

This afternoon, pilgrims carrying umbrellas to shield themselves from the scorching sun flocked to souvenir and barber shops in Mecca, while others shared meals under palm trees on streets close to the Grand Mosque. At least 650,000 overseas pilgrims have arrived so far in Saudi Arabia, the authorities said on Sunday.

Days after the hajj, Prince Mohammed will welcome US President Joe Biden who, with oil prices soaring following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has reneged on a vow to turn Saudi Arabia into a"pariah" over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents.
