Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman launched the Guests of God Service Program, one of the programs of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, on Tuesday night.

Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, emir of Makkah, and other princes, ministers and high ranking officials also attended the launching ceremony held at Al-Safa Palace in Makkah.

The King also received a document of the program, which consists of over 130 initiatives, prepared by more than 30 government agencies.

Speaking on the occasion, Muhammad Benten, minister of Haj and Umrah and chairman of the committee for the program, said that more than 32 government agencies and hundreds of private sector agencies will take part in implementing the program that facilitates and harnesses all potentials in the services of the Guests of God.

Benten said that the program will bring about a further qualitative leap in the facilities and services being offered to the Haj and Umrah pilgrims.

The program will have three strategic objectives — facilitate the hosting of more pilgrims and their access to the Two Holy Mosques; provide quality services for Haj and Umrah pilgrims, and enrich their religious and cultural experiences.
