He was opening “Bunyan 4 Exhibition,” which focuses on partnership among all public and private establishments in the service of the guests of God.

Haj Minister Fouad Al-Farsy attended the opening of the exhibition, held at the central area around the Prophet's Mosque.

The governor said a number of new services would be extended to enable pilgrims to perform the Haj rites in ease and comfort. “In addition, a number of new projects are currently under way,” he said.

More than 40 public, private, charitable and voluntary organizations are participating in the exhibition showcasing books and pamphlets. The show will continue until the end of the Haj season.

Meanwhile, the Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques Affairs has launched a program to guide visitors to Madinah on important locations in the Prophet's Mosque and in its vicinity, to provide transport to old and disabled visitors from the plazas to the gates of the mosque, and to guide lost pilgrims to their places of accommodation.

Program director Abdul Aziz bin Omair Al-Raddadi said about 200 staff would be working in the program using about 50 GPS devices, 50 pieces of bravo communications equipment, 10 laptops connected to the Internet, and 14 cars in addition to 150 wheelchairs.

Al-Raddadi said last year’s successful experiment encouraged them to continue with this valuable program this year.
