The 203-member group came from eight African countries: Ethiopia, Senegal, The Comoro Islands, Djibouti, Mali, South Africa, Nigeria, and Uganda. In remarks as they were leaving to their home countries via Jeddah-based King Abdulaziz international airport, they expressed happiness for the opportunity to perform Umrah, visit the prophet's city, greet him, and perform prayers at his mosque, and pay visits to Quba mosque, King Fahd Complex for printing the holy Quran, and pay tribute to Uhud martyrs, thanking the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for offering them this great honor. They also thanked the ministry of Islamic affairs, Call and Guidance who supervised all visit's arrangements, for its warm welcome and generous hospitality.
