Ons Jabeur's husband Karim Kamoun did his Umrah during the couple's trip to Saudi Arabia.

Jabeur was recently in Saudi Arabia to play Aryna Sabalenka in the Riyadh Season Tennis Cup exhibition match. The World No. 6 lost to Sabalenka 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Kamoun took to Instagram to post some pictures of himself in Mecca and captioned the post in Arabic. Jabeur's husband thanked God for helping him complete his Umrah.

"To you, O Allah, to you, to you, there is no partner for you, to you. To you, praise and grace are for you and the kingdom, there is no partners for you. Thank God, I completed my Umrah," wrote Kamoun.

Umrah is a non-obligatory but important pilgrimage for Muslims, to the holy mosque of Masjid al-Haram in Mecca.

Karim Kamoun is a former professional fencer. His career spanned from 2003 to 2011, after which he became a fencing coach. Post his stint as a fencing coach, he joined Ons Jabeur on tour as her fitness coach.
