The second group of beneficiaries of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Guests Program for Hajj and Umrah, supervised by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance, departed from Makkah to their respective countries.

The participants returned after completing their Umrah rituals and visiting the Prophet’s Mosque in a seamless, comfortable and peaceful atmosphere, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.

The group included 250 pilgrims from 15 countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, the UK, Brazil and Argentina.

The program’s guests expressed great delight in the gracious hospitality and high-quality services provided by the Saudi government, greatly facilitating their Umrah rituals.

The general secretariat of the program had prepared a rich and diverse program for the guests during their stay in Madinah and Makkah.

The program included a visit to the Quba Mosque, the Martyrs of Uhud Cemetery, Jabal Ar-Rumat (Hill of Archers), Hira Cultural District, the Cave of Hira, and other historical and cultural sites across the two holy cities.

The guests said the services had made it easy for them to visit and discover historic Islamic monuments, and the initiative reflects the Kingdom’s care and concern for Islam and Muslims.
