Faisal, Emir of Makkah Region, and Chairman of the Haj Central Committee, inaugurated on Wednesday a “Hopes and Reality” workshop to look at the issue of pilgrim housing. The now annual event looks at ways to improve services to pilgrims to the two holy cities. Prince Khaled spoke of progress made since the first workshop held last year. “Everybody has made concerted efforts to put into action what was agreed upon last year, and the results were great,” Prince Khaled said. “The reality is good, and hopes and ambition will make it better.”
