Makkah Route initiative has provided quality services to pilgrims from the People's Republic of Bangladesh to facilitate the procedures for their departure to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to perform this year's Hajj 2023.
Such services have covered various procedures, starting from the issuance of visas electronically and the collection of biometric data.
After verifying the availability of health requirements, the initiative also facilitated the procedures of finalizing the measures related to passports at the Hazrat Shahjalal international airport terminal in Dhaka.
The Makkah Route initiative also offers baggage coding and sorting service for the visitors to the Grand Mosque at the airport terminal of the country of departure, organized by the transportation and housing arrangements in the kingdom.
Upon their arrival, the pilgrims are taken in buses to their residences in Makkah and Madinah, while service agencies deliver their luggage to their residences.
The Makkah Route terminal has 15 counters to provide the best service and facilitate travel procedures for the pilgrims. The airport accommodates more than 800 travelers, whose procedures are finalized in record time with highly qualified and trained national cadres.
