Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan, along with his wife Reham Khan, arrived in Makkah to perform Umrah, a minor pilgrimage, on Thursday.
The couple, who were married earlier this month, were seen in the traditional Ihram, a state which a Muslim must enter in order to perform the Umrah by undergoing cleansing rituals and wearing the prescribed attire. In the photos, the couple is seen moving with some difficulty, as fellow pilgrims crowded around them hoping to get a picture.
PTI officals took to Twitter to congratulate the chairman and his wife.

Imran's decision to tie the knot weeks after the attack on Peshawar's Army Public School had come under heavy criticism. On his visit to the school, he was met by angry parents who accused him of neglecting the needs of the grieving people while he was "busy getting married".
