The fourth group of guests under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Umrah and Visitation Program, implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, has begun arriving in Madinah. Several ministry officials welcomed the guests at Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport.
The fourth group includes 250 male and female Umrah performers representing 14 countries: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Türkiye, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the Maldives, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Australia, New Zealand, and Russia.
This comes in line with the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to host 1,000 Umrah performers from 66 countries, divided into four groups during the year 1446 AH, as part of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Umrah and Visitation Program, allowing them to perform Umrah and visit the Prophet’s Mosque.
Upon their arrival in Madinah, the guests expressed their sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Saudi leadership for their generous hospitality, describing the program as a noble gesture that serves Islam and Muslims.
The ministry has prepared a religious and cultural program for the guests during their stay in Madinah, including visits to Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah, Quba Mosque, Martyrs’ Cemetery, Mount Uhud, and King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran, along with tours of the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization, before heading to Makkah to perform Umrah rituals.
