The living conditions of Moroccan pilgrims in the holy sites are very good.

During the tour, accompanied by Morocco's Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Mostafa Mansouri, the delegation evaluated the pilgrims' well-being and the spiritual guidance they are receiving. Rachidi reported that the pilgrims' accommodation in the holy sites is "very good," and noted that the religious instruction and overall organization are proceeding smoothly.

The inspection also provided an opportunity to review the services offered by the medical and civil missions, as well as the military contingent supporting the pilgrims. Rachidi emphasized that the tour served to reaffirm the royal care and attention extended by the Commander of the Faithful, King Mohammed VI, to the Moroccan pilgrims.

The tour also provided an opportunity to review the services offered by the medical, civil, and military missions, as well as the performance of rituals in general.

Earlier, on May 4, King Mohammed VI had dispatched a royal message to the pilgrims before the departure of the first group. The message, read by Ahmed Toufiq, Minister of Habous and Islamic Affairs, urged the pilgrims to represent their country well and embody the values of Islam, including integrity, good conduct, solidarity, and devotion to God. The King also encouraged them to act as ambassadors for Morocco, upholding the nation's civilized and radiant image.

The tour served to reaffirm the care that the Commander of the Faithful, King Mohammed VI, gives to Moroccan pilgrims.

This year, 34,000 Moroccan pilgrims are performing the Hajj. Of these, 22,200 are part of the official organizational framework, while 11,800 are utilizing services provided by travel agencies.

We urge the pilgrims to represent their country well and embody the best values of Islam in steadfastness, good treatment, solidarity, and sincerity in their orientation towards God Almighty in this great season.
