Two Egyptians performing Umrah were killed, and 25 others injured in a bus crash near the Saudi city of Al-Jumum about 17 miles from Mecca, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said Sunday.

The ministry said the bus, carrying 47 Egyptian pilgrims, was travelling from Medina to Mecca when the crash occurred Saturday evening.

The 25 sustained light to moderate injuries, including seven who were admitted to intensive care, according to the statement.

The remaining pilgrims received treatment and were discharged from hospitals before being accommodated at their designated hotels in Mecca.

Saudi authorities had not immediately commented on the crash.

Umrah is a voluntary minor Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca that involves visiting the Kaaba to perform specific sacred rituals of devotion and purification.
