Makkah, January 28, 2025 – The third group of guests of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program for Umrah and Visit performed the sacred rituals of Umrah on Monday in Makkah, enveloped in a deeply spiritual atmosphere. This group, part of an initiative organized by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance for the year 1446 AH, includes 250 male and female pilgrims from 18 African countries. The guests were provided with exceptional services by the working committees of the program, ensuring that their pilgrimage experience was comfortable, enriching, and spiritually fulfilling.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program for Umrah and Visit is a key initiative that reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to facilitating the journey of Muslim pilgrims from around the world. The program offers comprehensive support for the guests, including travel arrangements, accommodation, and guidance on performing the rituals of Umrah. It also highlights the Kingdom’s dedication to providing an outstanding experience for Muslim visitors to Makkah and Madinah, particularly for those who may not have the means to perform the pilgrimage on their own.
In addition to the spiritual benefits of performing Umrah, the third group of guests also participated in a range of religious and cultural programs organized by the working committees of the program during their stay in Makkah. These programs are designed to enrich the pilgrims’ experience, providing them with deeper insights into the Islamic faith, the history of the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, and the significance of the rituals they are performing. The guests also had opportunities to engage in cultural exchanges, further strengthening the bonds of brotherhood and unity among Muslims from diverse backgrounds.
The program’s dedication to offering a holistic and seamless experience for pilgrims is reflected in the meticulous planning and coordination of its working committees. From the moment the guests arrive in Makkah, they are supported in every aspect of their journey, ensuring that they can focus entirely on the spiritual aspects of their pilgrimage.
The third group’s participation in the program is a testament to the ongoing efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to serve the global Muslim community, particularly in alignment with the values of hospitality, generosity, and unity. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program for Umrah and Visit continues to play an essential role in enabling Muslims from around the world to perform one of the most important religious duties in Islam, while also offering them an opportunity to engage with the broader Islamic community in a spirit of peace and solidarity.
