Upon arrival at the venue, the pilgrims expressed thanks to and appreciation of the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, for the hospitality and caring accorded to them, praying that may the Al-Mighty save the Kingdom, its leadership and the people against any mischief.
