RIYADH: Unveiled by the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Holy Mosque and the Prophet’s Holy Mosque, the new plan encompasses 120 initiatives and 10 smart tracks aimed at enriching the digital and spiritual journey of pilgrims. It also includes seven specialised enrichment programs to spread the moderate message of Hajj across the globe in multiple languages.

Speaking at the launch, Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al Sudais, President of Religious Affairs, emphasized the Kingdom’s dedication to serving the guests of the Two Holy Mosques. He underlined that the 2025 Hajj season will focus heavily on smart transformation, digital communication, and AI-driven services to ensure an elevated and inclusive experience for all.

Dr. Al Sudais further noted that the plan incorporates interactive platforms designed to reflect Islamic values and Sharia objectives, promoting moderation and spiritual engagement in a global context.

At the core of the initiative are three main pillars: honouring the sanctity of time, enhancing the spiritual and sacred status of the holy sites, and glorifying the holiness of place. These foundational elements aim to elevate the Hajj journey while delivering a message of peace, balance, and unity to the world.
