A long-standing historical legacy in caring for the guests of God
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded by King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud – may God have mercy on him – and since then, the kings of this country have borne the great responsibility of caring for and developing the Holy Sites. The title “Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques” is not merely a protocol title, but rather a way of life and a historical responsibility passed down through generations of leaders in the Kingdom. Over the decades, the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina, as well as the Holy Sites of Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, have witnessed massive historical expansions and unprecedented infrastructure projects, all aimed at facilitating the performance of the Hajj rituals and ensuring the safety and security of the millions of pilgrims who come annually from all corners of the earth.
Humanitarian and international dimensions of the Kingdom's efforts during the Hajj season
The importance of managing the Hajj season transcends the local sphere, constituting a prominent Islamic and international event that showcases the Kingdom's exceptional organizational and logistical capabilities. Each year, the Kingdom mobilizes all its security, health, service, and technological sectors to serve the pilgrims. Innovative initiatives such as the "Makkah Route" facilitate the entry of pilgrims directly from their home countries, alongside the use of modern technologies, artificial intelligence, and simultaneous translation in 17 different languages, enhance the religious and cultural experience of the pilgrims. The continued success in organizing these millions of pilgrims reinforces the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's position as the beating heart of the Islamic world and contributes to promoting the values of peace, tolerance, and coexistence that our noble religion brings to all of humanity.
