Charity launches exhibition showcasing Saudi Arabia’s rich history of serving pilgrims

RIYADH: A new exhibition celebrating Saudi Arabia’s rich history of serving pilgrims opened in Makkah on Monday. Organized by the Hadiyah Charity Association, it also showcases ongoing projects that aim to enhance the pilgrimage services the Kingdom provides.

The country’s extensive efforts to serve Hajj and Umrah pilgrims date back to the era of King Abdulaziz and continue through the current reign of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, organizers said.

Hatem Al-Marzouki, chairperson of Hadiyah’s board of directors, said the exhibition reflects the association’s deep sense of pride in the Kingdom’s longstanding dedication to serving the two holy mosques and caring for visitors, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The exhibition is open to representatives of governmental institutions, civil organizations, private-sector entities, and professionals from the Hajj and Umrah sector.
