Great news for pilgrims departing from Karachi! Jinnah International Airport has officially joined the “Road to Makkah” project, a Saudi initiative designed to streamline the Hajj experience. This means a smoother, less stressful journey for you as you embark on this sacred pilgrimage.
What is the “Road to Makkah” project?
This project offers special services to pilgrims right here at Karachi airport, helping you prepare for Hajj with minimal hassle. Here’s the best part: upon arrival in Saudi Arabia, you’ll bypass immigration queues in Jeddah and Madina!
How will this work?
The Karachi airport is currently gearing up for this project. Once operational, Saudi immigration staff will be stationed here to handle all the necessary procedures. This eliminates the need for immigration checks at your Saudi Arabian arrival points.
Making room for a smoother journey:
The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has designated two special counters at Karachi airport to accommodate the Saudi immigration process. This ensures a faster and more efficient experience for Pakistani pilgrims, allowing you to focus on your spiritual journey.
A commitment to ease of travel:
The recent decision by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman to expedite the launch of “Road to Makkah” at Karachi airport highlights their dedication to facilitating a smoother Hajj experience for pilgrims.
So, Karachi pilgrims, get ready for a more convenient Hajj journey! This exciting new project promises a less stressful and more focused experience as you embark on this important pilgrimage.
