The Maldivian Hajj Mission that travelled to Saudi Arabia has met Maldivian students studying in Makkah.
During the meeting, the suggestions from the students were taken to improve Hajj preparations and how students can involve in assisting the pilgrims travelling from Maldives.
Each year, a Hajj Mission is established in Makkah to assist Maldivian pilgrims and monitor the work of the Hajj season. This year, the Hajj Mission met with the President of South East Asia Hajj Institution Dr. Raufath Badr and discussed the arrangements made for the pilgrims.
The Government of Saudi Arabia granted 2,000 slots for Maldivians to perform Hajj this year. The first group of pilgrims departed to Saudi Arabia on July 21 and multiple groups from Maldives will be travelling to Saudi Arabia until August 5.
