Madinah is due to receive on Wednesday the fourth and last group of this year's guests of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Guests Program for Hajj, Umrah and Visit for 1448 AH. Once they arrive, the programme will have hosted 1,000 pilgrims from 65 countries in total, every one of them at the personal expense of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

This closing group numbers 250 pilgrims drawn from 21 countries, among them Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Kazakhstan, Türkiye, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

During their stay in Madinah, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance will take them to the Prophet’s Mosque, Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah, Quba Mosque and other religious and historical sites. They will then head to Makkah to perform Umrah and see its Islamic and historical landmarks.

The programme highlights the Kingdom's service to pilgrims, its care for the Two Holy Mosques and holy sites, and its promotion of moderation and balance.
