As part of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Guests Program for Umrah and Visit, the first group of guests have toured several historic sites in Madinah.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the pilgrims started the tour by visiting the King Fahd Glorious Qur’an Printing Complex in Madinah.
The visit is part of a cultural program launched by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs to provide visitors and Umrah pilgrims with seamless cultural experiences in Madinah.
To fully discover the complex, the visitors took a deep look at the complex’s technical and administrative departments. Therefore, they had a valuable opportunity to learn more about the several stages of printing the Holy Qur’an, preservation efforts, and its translation into multiple languages. Then, the complex representatives gifted copies of the Holy Qur’an to the guests.
Moreover, the visitors toured the Battle of Uhud site, Mount Al-Ramah, and the Uhud Martyrs’ Cemetery, learning more about this historic turning point in Islam.
The program also includes meetings with imams of the Prophet’s Mosque and renowned scholars.
Crucially, the program includes a total of 1,000 Umrah performers from 66 countries. The guests will visit over four groups. Accordingly, the first group consisted of 250 prominent Islamic figures from 12 countries.
