Novice UK sailors arrive in Jeddah after surviving epic Hajj voyage

MINA: A group of six pilgrims with no previous sailing experience who set off from London on a 59-day maritime adventure have praised Saudi authorities for the welcome they received after finally completing their Hajj voyage. The UK-based group, aged between 27 and 47, set sail on April 1 and arrived in Jeddah on May 27, just one week before the start of Hajj. Each member brought a unique set of skills, from IT professionals to community organizers, but none had formal maritime training.
