Road to Makkah project

One crucial development in streamlining the Hajj experience is the “Road to Makkah” project. This initiative aims to simplify immigration processes for pilgrims, ensuring a hassle-free journey. As part of the project, Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Interior Minister, Dr. Nasir Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Dawood, visited Pakistan for a two-day trip. 

The purpose of his visit was to finalize and sign an agreement related to the “Road to Makkah” project, which will enhance the immigration facilities for pilgrims. During his stay, Dr. Al-Dawood also held significant meetings with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the Federal Minister for Narcotics Control, and the Chief of Army Staff, highlighting the importance and commitment towards a smooth Hajj operation.
