Pilgrim center in Madinah to be ready before Haj

Work on a pilgrim center at Prince Muhammad International Airport in Madinah is progressing well and will be ready before Haj.
It can accommodate 2,400 pilgrims at a time.
The center will serve nearly three million Haj and Umrah pilgrims annually, said Haj Minister Bandar Hajar after visiting the project site.
It is spread on area of 8,400 sq.m. including the main lounge with 22 fiberglass tents.
Muhammad Al-Baijawi, director of the ministry’s office in Madinah, briefed Hajar on the plan to open the rest house for Haj pilgrims this year.
The minister instructed the contractor to complete the project on time.
He highlighted Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman’s support for the project, adding that the governor had been keenly following the work.
“Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah ordered the project to improve services being extended to the guests of God who visit the Prophet’s Mosque,” he said.
The rest house will have offices of the Haj Ministry and various service agencies and a health center with modern facilities.
