King Salman, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, has directed the hosting of 2,322 Hajj pilgrims from around the globe. This initiative includes 1,300 pilgrims from over 88 countries, 1,000 from families of Palestinian martyrs, prisoners and the wounded, and 22 from families of conjoined twins who had successful surgeries in Saudi Arabia.
This effort is part of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Guests Program for Hajj, Umrah and Visit, managed by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance.
Sheikh Abdullatif Al-Sheikh, Minister of Islamic Affairs and General Supervisor of the Program, expressed gratitude to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their continuous support for Muslims worldwide.
“This will help to deepen the bonds of unity and brotherhood through the guests’ gathering for Hajj”, said Al-Sheikh.
Al-Sheikh also noted that this initiative extends the leadership's dedication to serving Islam and Muslims. The ministry has meticulously planned for the arrival and comfort of these pilgrims, from departure in their home countries to performing Hajj and Umrah rituals and visiting Madinah and the Prophet’s Mosque.
Since its inception over 26 years ago, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Guests Program for Hajj, Umrah, and Visit has hosted more than 60,000 pilgrims, reflecting the Kingdom's commitment to this cause.
