The Makkah Route Initiative continues to provide its services to Turkish pilgrims, as three flights left Istanbul International Airport yesterday, heading for Jeddah.

The pilgrims expressed their gratitude to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for this initiative, which facilitates their procedures to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The initiative is one of the Ministry of Interior’s initiatives within the Pilgrim Experience Program, which is also one of the Saudi Vision 2030 projects. It entails taking care of all the travel procedures needed by the pilgrims in their homeland, including issuing visas electronically, ensuring pilgrims have a clean bill of health, completing passport procedures at the airport in the country of departure, and coding and sorting the luggage according to the transportation and housing arrangements in the Kingdom. Upon arrival, the pilgrims are transferred to their places of residence through designated bus tracks, and their luggage is delivered to them.
