Rabat: Saudi Ambassador to Morocco Dr. Sami Al-Saleh underscored Saudi Arabia's commitment to pilgrims, notably through the Makkah Route Initiative. Implemented by the Ministry of Interior as part of the Pilgrim Experience Program of Saudi Vision 2030, this initiative streamlines Hajj procedures and ensures a peaceful journey for pilgrims traveling from their home countries to the Kingdom.
According to Saudi Press Agency, Al-Saleh noted that the widely embraced initiative in Morocco enables pilgrims to fulfill all travel procedures in their home country, such as obtaining Hajj visas electronically, capturing biometric data, and completing passport procedures at Mohammed V International Airport.
Additionally, the program involves tagging and sorting luggage based on pilgrims' travel and accommodation details in Saudi Arabia, effectively reducing the time and effort required upon their arrival, thus enhancing their overall Hajj experience.
