THE HONOR TO SERVE THE
INCREASING NUMBER OF
UMRAH VISITORS IN THE
BEST WAY POSSIBLE
THE LARGEST ISLAMIC
MUSEUM
We have always taken – and will continue to take –
great pride in our heritage. Mohammad, the Last of
Prophets, Peace Be Upon Him, was from Makkah,
the birthplace of Islam. Medina is where the first
Islamic society was born.
We are honored to attend to pilgrims and Umrah
visitors’ needs, fulfilling a role bestowed on us by Allah.
Our expansion of the Two Holy Mosques has led to a
tripling in the number of foreign Umrah visitors over
the last decade, reaching eight million in 2015.
We will build an Islamic museum in accordance with
the highest global standards, equipped with the
latest methods in collection, preservation,
presentation and documentation. It will be a major
landmark for our citizens and visitors, where they
will learn about the history of Islam, enjoy interactive
experiences and participate in cultural events.
Using modern technology, visitors to the museum
will take an immersive journey through the different
ages of Islamic civilization, as well as its science,
scholars and culture.
By increasing the capacity and by improving the quality
of the services offered to Umrah visitors, we will, by
2
020, make it possible for over 15 million Muslims per
year to perform Umrah and be completely satisfied
with their pilgrimage experience.
We will achieve this by improving visa application
procedures which will smooth the visa process with the
aim of full automation. We will also further integrate
e-services into the pilgrims’ journey, which will enrich
the religious and cultural experience.
It will also be an international hub for erudition and
include a world-class library and research center.
Both the public and private sectors will play a crucial
role in this project as we work to upgrade
accommodation, improve hospitality and launch new
services for pilgrims.
