RIYADH — The Saudi Ministry of Interior is holding a mobile exhibition titled “No Hajj without a permit’ to enhance awareness among the residents about safe and secure Hajj practices. The exhibition, which started on May 20, will run through until Saturday, May 25 in Madinah.

Visitors gain insights into the ministry’s use of artificial intelligence to manage crowds during Hajj. The exhibition is also familiarizing with the Makkah Route Initiative, which is part of the broader ‏Pilgrim Experience Program, which falls under Saudi Vision 2030, and that aims to offer the best ever possible facilities and services for the pilgrims.

This year, the Makkah Route Initiative is being implemented for the sixth time at 11 airports in seven countries, facilitating the smooth arrival of pilgrims. Displays at the exhibition highlight the ministry’s efforts to ensure the security and safety of pilgrims and visitors to the Two Holy Mosques.

Visitors learn about emergency reporting procedures through the unified security operations centers (911), as well as about the most prominent services offered on the Absher electronic platform.
