Seven hundred young Saudis have been employed in Madina to help in the transportation of pilgrims and ensure their comfort, according to the Bus Guidance Bureau's Director Waleed Daftardar. Thirteen pilgrim transportation companies have been brought under the purview of the bureau, he said. All Saudi guides will be posted at Prince Muhammad Airport, Haj City near Uhad Hospital on Al-Salam Road and the Sea and Air Pilgrims Cities situated on Al-Hajr Road. Waleed said the bureau will hold brief orientation courses for guides and administrators prior to the Haj season expecting that the guides would serve about 3.5 million pilgrims. – Okaz __
