The fourth cohort of participants in the King Salman Umrah Program embarked on their pilgrimage at the Grand Mosque in Makkah. This group, part of the 1448 AH campaign organized by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, had previously visited the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah before commencing their Umrah rituals. Upon their arrival in Makkah, the ministry ensured a comprehensive package of services including lodging, transport, and meticulous logistical arrangements to facilitate a smooth and serene pilgrimage experience.

The guests lavished praise on the kingdom for their exemplary hospitality and efficient organization, highlighting the seamless execution of their visit. They acknowledged the Saudi leadership's dedication to serving the Islamic faith and its people, and emphasized the program's embodiment of the kingdom's commitment to serving pilgrims and fostering Islamic unity.

During their stay in Makkah, the group engaged in a variety of educational and cultural activities, including visits to key sites such as the King Abdulaziz Complex for the Kiswa of the Holy Kaaba and the Revelation Exhibition.

The fourth group comprised 250 pilgrims from 21 countries, representing diverse nationalities from Asia, Europe, and Oceania. This international representation underscores the kingdom's goal of welcoming Muslims from across the globe to perform Umrah and visit the Prophet's Mosque, thereby enriching their spiritual and cultural journey.
