26 May 2024, Riyadh. The Ministry of Interior’s mobile exhibition will be present in Al-Othaim Mall Riyadh from June 26th to July 1st.” It is a display with the slogan “No Hajj without permit” meant to create an understanding among people on the importance of adherence to Hajj practices and directions of pilgrimage. This exhibit intends to make sure that pilgrims – who are divine guests – perform their rites safely, securely, comfortably and guarantee their safe return. The Pilgrim Experience Program, a program within Saudi Vision 2030, includes the Makkah Route initiative, which is one of the ministry's initiatives within the program. The attendees of the exhibition will also hear about the Ministry of Interior's efforts to maintain the security and safety of visitors to the Two Holy Mosques during the Hajj season.
The Makkah Route program is being presented by the ministry for the sixth time this year at 11 airports in seven different nations at 1445 a.m. The exhibition will cover consequences in the case of violation of customs and laws of the Hajj—traveling with a non-compliant religious companion and not obtaining a Hajj license. It will also cover the services provided by the "Absher" electronic platform and show the usage of unified security operations centers (911) in the acceptance of reports that need emergency security and humanitarian aid. During the event, the Ministry of Interior will showcase the services offered by the public security and Emirate of Riyadh Province. The General Directorate of Civil Defense, the National Center for Security Operations, the Special Forces for Hajj and Umrah Security, and the General Department of Translation within the Ministry of Interior are some of these sectors.
