Saudi Arabia to care for Pak pilgrims until their return

ISLAMABAD: The Saudi Arabian government is keen in providing all the comforts and services to the visitors of the Holy Mosques.

The Saudi Ministry of Haj and Umrah, in coordination with the Emirate of Makkah Province and the Emirate of Al-Madina province and the general authority of civil aviation, has decided to host the Pakistani pilgrims until the flights return back to Pakistan and to coordinate with flight agencies for their re-booking, due to current situation of closing Pakistan’s airspace and suspended all flights, says a press release issued by the Embassy of Saudi Arabia on Thursday.

The Saudi Ministry of Haj and Umrah directed the companies and institutions of Umrah to immediately work on the accommodation of all Pakistani pilgrims whom their flights are scheduled through King Abdul Aziz Airport-Jeddah, in Makkah’s hotels, and to accommodate the visitors whom their flights are scheduled through Prince Mohammed Bin Abdul Aziz International Airport – Al-Madina Al-Munawwarah, in Madinah’s hotels.
