A number of pilgrims have lauded the large-scale services and top attention given by the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz and his Crown Prince Sultan Bin Abdul-Aziz to ease further performance of Hajj rituals by millions of pilgrims who gather every year in Makkah, Madinah and the holy places from all corners of the world. These services cover health, safety, security, telecommunications, electricity, water, foodstuffs, transportation, guidance on Hajj rituals and others, which are provided by the concerned governmental bodies, especially delegated to serve pilgrims during the Hajj season. In statements to the Saudi Press Agency, the pilgrims said the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has won the privilege and honor of serving the Two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Madinah. They singled out the gigantic expansion works and development projects at the holy sites completed by the Saudi government to enable the pilgrims to perform their religious rituals in ease and comfort as well as provide ample accommodation for millions of worshippers not only during the Hajj season but also throughout the year. They praised the completion of the first phase of the Jamarat bridge, which ease the movement of pilgrims and resolved the problem of over-crowding. --MORE
