RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has always placed serving the Two Holy Mosques and pilgrims at the forefront of its priorities.
The Hajj pilgrimage, which is mandatory for all able Muslims, once took months and weeks to complete.
However, the journey is now easier for the millions of pilgrims taking part in today’s digital age, thanks partly to the Kingdom’s Makkah Route Initiative.
Those arriving as part of the initiative spend only a few minutes at the Saudi immigration counters, having completed entry requirements in their country of departure.
This pioneering initiative was officially introduced as part of Saudi Vision 2030’s Pilgrim Experience Program.
