Guests of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program Visit Historical and Religious Landmarks in Madinah

The third group of participants in the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program for Umrah and Visitation for the year 1446 AH, organized by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance, visited several significant historical and religious landmarks in Madinah today.
 The group, comprising 250 male and female pilgrims from 18 African countries, toured Mount Uhud, the Martyrs' Cemetery, and the Quba Mosque during their stay in Madinah as part of the religious and cultural program arranged by the ministry.
 At Quba Mosque, the guests performed prayers and were briefed on the mosque's facilities and the ongoing expansion and development projects under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's expansion initiative. These projects aim to enhance the mosque's capacity and improve services for worshippers. The guests also learned about the historical and religious significance of the Quba Mosque, recognized as the first mosque built following the Prophet Mohammed’s migration to Madinah.
 This group is part of a broader initiative that will host 1,000 male and female pilgrims from 66 countries this year. Following their visit to Madinah, the guests will proceed to Makkah to perform the Umrah rituals.
