Makkah Route Initiative Sets Role Model of Saudi Humanity
As one of the most prominent initiatives of Hajj seasons, Makkah Route Initiative stands as a living proof of Saudi Arabia's commitment to offering safe and smooth Hajj journeys.
According to the initiative, pilgrims can complete all necessary procedures, including electronic visa issuance, biometric data collection, and airport departure checks in their home country.
Therefore, pilgrims do not have to worry about their luggage. Saudi Authorities directly transfer it to their places of residence in Makkah and Madinah.
Upon arrival at Saudi airports, the Kingdom offers a warm welcome that truly depicts the spirit of Islamic hospitality.
Apart from this, the initiative features a pure humanitarian spirit represented in taking care of the elderly and sick and accompanying them from the start of their journey until they arrive at their residence in the Kingdom.
Launched in 2017 as part of Saudi Vision 2030, the initiative features a revolutionary program designed to boost the pilgrimage experience for guests of Allah from Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Morocco, Bangladesh, Turkey, and the Ivory Coast.
The initiative has served more than 617,756 pilgrims in collaboration with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Health, Hajj and Umrah, and Information, the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), and the Guests of God Service Program.

Raising the Kaaba's Kiswa: An annual Hajj tradition explained
Raising the Kiswa – the black cloth covering the Holy Kaaba in Mecca – is an annual tradition preceding the Hajj season that signals the start of the Muslim pilgrimage and protects the black silk and gold cloth from damage. The act involves raising the lower part of the Kiswa and covering it with white cloth, creating a barrier. The black cloth, crafted from black silk and adorned with Quranic verses, that drapes over the Kaaba, is a symbol of reverence and marks the sanctity of the holiest site in Islam. It is changed annually. Raising Kiswa during Hajj During the Hajj season, the Kiswa is traditionally raised, not as an act of worship, but for practical reasons that have evolved over time. Each era has offered its own explanation or wisdom behind this practice. Historically, lifting the Kiswa signaled the beginning of the Hajj season, alerting the faithful to the start of the sacred rituals and the arrival of pilgrims from across the globe to perform the fifth pillar of Islam. It also helped protect the Kiswa from potential damage due to the large crowds. Deeply rooted tradition Over the centuries, this act became a deeply rooted tradition, carefully upheld by Muslim rulers and authorities. Today, the Kiswa is raised well ahead of the Hajj season primarily to preserve it from wear and tear caused by the dense crowds around the Kaaba, and to prevent pilgrims or Umrah performers from cutting off pieces as keepsakes or seeking blessings. Historical sources indicate that this practice dates to the early Islamic period, when the Kiswa was lifted to make it visible to pilgrims performing circumambulation around the Kaaba.

Makkah mobile stroke unit saves Ugandan pilgrim
MAKKAH: A medical team stationed at the Grand Mosque in Makkah successfully intervened to save a Ugandan male pilgrim who suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage, the Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday. The pilgrim reportedly lost consciousness within the Grand Mosque due to the hemorrhage, prompting an immediate response from the specialized unit. "The Ugandan pilgrim received critical treatment within an impressive 16 minutes — one-sixth of the internationally accepted standard time of 60 minutes for such cases," said the report, quoting the Makkah Health Cluster. After getting emergency care, the patient was transferred to King Abdulaziz Hospital for further comprehensive medical treatment. He is now undergoing rehabilitation and expected to be discharged to complete his pilgrimage. As part of Hajj preparations, a Mobile Stroke Unit affiliated with King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) is stationed at the Grand Mosque. The team is made up of a neurologist, cardiologist, respiratory therapist, emergency nurse, radiologist, and paramedic and equipped with advance diagnostic devices. Each year, tens of thousands of Hajj pilgrims benefit from various healthcare services provided by health centers and hospitals in the holy sites. Saudi Arabia deploys around 50,000 healthcare and other professionals to work 24 hours daily during Islam's most important gathering. Last week, a medical team at the Eye Health Center of King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah saved the sight of an Egyptian pilgrim who experienced sudden vision loss.

The plan integrates buses and the Haraman High-Speed Railway into a flexible and efficient system. Dr. Al-Rabiah added that the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has finalized its preparations through an advanced operational package. This includes upgrades to audiovisual equipment, the development of childcare centers, and services designed to meet the diverse needs of pilgrims and ensure enhanced services. Special Advisor to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the King Abdulaziz Foundation for Research and Archives (Darah) Prince Faisal bin Salman also addressed the gathering.

He also announced the launch of the Hajj and Two Holy Mosques History Forum, organized by the King Abdulaziz Foundation in collaboration with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.

The discussions aimed to facilitate the performance of Hajj and uphold the objectives of Islamic law through scholarly dialogue and thoughtful interpretation.
