The logistics of the pilgrimage to Medina after the performance of the rites in Mecca is a constant concern for the authorities. Ahmed Saleh, senior official of the Egyptian Mission Office for Pilgrimage Tourist Packages in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, stressed the importance of tracking the movement of pilgrims once their pilgrimage is completed.
A special group has been mandated to locate missing pilgrims or lost belongings in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saleh said. He also mentioned that the mission had managed to find and bring back 40 lost pilgrims, specifying that no cases of disappearance were currently reported.
To ensure the comfort and safety of pilgrims, no less than 723 supervisors from tourism companies are mobilized to serve them. The movement of pilgrims is monitored 24 hours a day, whether in Mecca or Medina.
This particular attention to the safety and well-being of pilgrims demonstrates the authorities’ commitment to guaranteeing a smooth and secure pilgrimage. By ensuring constant monitoring and putting in place effective measures, the authorities ensure that each pilgrim can perform their ritual in the best possible conditions.
The hard work and dedication of the supervisory teams helps create an environment conducive to spirituality and contemplation for pilgrims. This reflects the importance given to this sacred event and the desire to ensure that each pilgrim has a memorable and enriching experience.
Thus, by putting in place rigorous monitoring measures and ensuring effective coordination, the authorities are responding to the needs of pilgrims and striving to make their journey as safe and comfortable as possible. This commitment to the well-being of pilgrims illustrates the importance given to this religious practice and reinforces the confidence of the faithful in the organization of the pilgrimage.
