A welcome initiative was launched by the Grand Mosque in Makkah for pilgrims and umrah visitors arriving in Saudi Arabia.
The plan was started by the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, which is handled by its office for women's exhibitions, media relations, and public relations.
The King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and the Haramain train station will both have greeting stations made up.
The pilgrims are warmly welcomed at the designated train station, and a set of gifts are presented to help them perform their rituals with ease, as referred by agency official Nada Al-Malki.
Senior management welcomed pilgrims and gave them information on digital services while also distributing gift packages that included a prayer rug, umbrella, and Zamzam water. The initiative was launched at the railway station last year.
The presidency's Ramadan program, which will include meetings and seminars on science and culture, was introduced on Sunday in the Grand Mosque library by the organisation in charge of libraries and cultural affairs.
The first nighttime session focused on different facets of the Prophet Muhammad's life.
