A 47-member Saudi delegation is set to arrive at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on April 27, 2025, under the "Road to Makkah" project.
The delegation will first arrive at Islamabad International Airport and is expected to reach Karachi later in the afternoon. During their visit, the team will review immigration arrangements under the project.
Under the "Road to Makkah" initiative, Pakistani pilgrims will complete their immigration clearance at Karachi Airport itself, rather than upon arrival in Saudi Arabia. This pre-clearance process will allow pilgrims to exit directly from the airport upon landing in Saudi Arabia, significantly easing their travel experience.
The initiative aims to streamline Hajj operations and provide greater convenience for Pakistani pilgrims during their sacred journey.
