The ‘Road to Mecca’ project launched by the Saudi Interior Ministry for Hajj pilgrims from abroad is for five countries this year and may be recalled in events. This is also the fourth year of the Road to Mecca project, which is established keeping one goal in mind to provide immigration facilities to pilgrims from abroad in their Saudi countries. According to Saudi News Channels, pilgrims from five countries across the world, including Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Morocco, and Bangladesh, will be brought to the kingdom under the Road to Mecca project this year.

If we take a look at the history, the Road to Mecca project was basically established four years ago, with an experimental start in Indonesia, followed by a second year for Malaysian pilgrims. In the third year, this facility was provided to a limited number of pilgrims from the continent of Pakistan on an experimental basis. Later the Hajj pilgrims under the Road to Mecca project immigrated to their home countries. When they arrive in the country, they are simply scanned with a barcode and put on a caravan. The luggage and belongings of the pilgrims coming under the scheme are also taken from their countries. They don’t have to worry about luggage after coming to the kingdom.

According to the Hajj flights schedule 2022 Pakistan, the private airline for the destination of the Holy City will depart on 5 July 2022. More than 40 flights will start departing onwards taking almost 225 pilgrims on each flight. It is advised for Hajj pilgrims to pay any remaining dues before the application expiry date. According to a report, it is mandatory to submit your corona vaccination certificate along with your passport while paying the Hajj package payment.
