Ankara, 29 May 2024. It has always been the Saudi women who best exemplified empowerment and commitment in the service of the Hajj pilgrims, mainly in the Makkah Route Initiative ports. As they welcome the travelers on their way to the Kingdom, they exude unflinching empowerment and competence, passionately embodying the values that their country cherishes. Maram Hassan Al-Zubaidi, Corporal, is one of the unique people changing the world. He is part of the staff that serves pilgrims at Ankara Esenboga Airport and works for the General Directorate of Passports. The committed staff of Al-Zubaidi collaborates to guarantee a precise, efficient, and seamless process for pilgrims performing the Hajj to enter the Kingdom.


She highlights that in order to lessen the difficulties faced by pilgrims, the organization makes considerable efforts to offer the greatest services possible, stationing these services within the recipients' nation. Another great example comes from Corporal Sara Abdulaziz Al-Junaidi, who describes her first experience working with the Makkah Route Initiative as meaningful and fulfilling. She says that the project represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn new skills and enhance her ability to meet pilgrims' needs. Al-Junaidi stresses the use of state-of-the-art technologies and technology in affording pilgrims effective services through the project.


These developments have accelerated the movement of pilgrims, thus removing unnecessary waiting and ensuring there is no halt to the activities. She is completely satisfied with her role in the program in providing advanced services to improve the overall experience of the pilgrims. Slashing the number of operations ensures the pilgrims are satisfied and comfortable while saving them time and effort. For Corporal Sara Ahmed Abu Talib, it is the opportunity to be with the Makkah Route Initiative team in Ankara, serving people making the Hajj trip. When speaking about this program, how it allows her to serve her country and religion, a wave of pride begins to rise within her. She describes it as immense pride and respect. Abu Talib added that the effort is laudable in its commitment to making pilgrims' trips easier while not losing sight of the unique health concerns of each pilgrim. Given that most pilgrims are elderly, the project puts a lot of value on their comfort and welfare.
