Formalised at the fourth Umrah and Ziyarah Forum in Jeddah,

The pact focuses on integrating digital platforms,
exchanging vital information, and strengthening institutional collaboration.
By aligning efforts among key entities, the partnership aims
to optimise service quality and enrich the overall spiritual journey for
visitors and Umrah pilgrims.
