Tunisia lauds Saudi efforts caring for pilgrims

Tunisia's Mufti Alsheikh Othman Batteekh today lauded the efforts exerted by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, caring for pilgrims coming from all parts of the world to perform Hajj rituals. In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, he underscored the importance of the expansion and development of the Islamic utilities, including the Makkah Grand mosque and Al-Madinah mosque of the Prophet (pbuh). Despite the increase in number of pilgrims every year, the Saudi authorities were able to meet the needs of accommodation, transportation, shelter, cleanliness, environment and security of pilgrims, he said, calling on all pilgrims to observe Saudi regulations and rules during Hajj.
