A total of 600 group leaders in Tawafa companies acquired training and qualifying courses in the pilgrims' countries of origins before arriving Saudi Arabia. The training program targeted this year four countries: Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey and Nigeria.

These endeavors have already paid off; since the beginning of June and until now, Tawafa companies successfully managed to transport more than 300 thousand pilgrims from King Abdul Aziz International Airport and Jeddah Islamic Port, as well as more than 500 thousand pilgrims from Medina, via 15 thousand buses. Additionally, more than 376 pilgrims completed Tawaf of arrival up till now.

Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, Minister of Hajj and Umrah stressed that all these efforts are part of 'Pilgrim Experience Program' initiative which seeks to facilitate issuing visas, to increase the numbers of flights, and to improve the services at airports and the Two Holy Mosques.
