Conflicts, sieges and pandemics have disrupted or forced the cancellation of the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah down the centuries from at least the eighth century.
It is believed that the Haj was last completely cancelled in 1798, when Napoleon's invasion of the region made it unsafe for pilgrims to travel to Makkah.
Saudi Arabia announced on Monday that it would hold a "very limited" hajj in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, with pilgrims of different nationalities already in the kingdom allowed to take part.
Here is a timeline of more recent incidents that have disrupted or overshadowed the event, which draws 2.5 million Muslims every year:
