Mina, Saudi Arabia, August 12, 2019, SPA -- Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, the Advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Governor of Makkah Region and Head of the Central Hajj Committee, said that many scientific bodies and institutions especially King Fahd Institute for Hajj and Umrah Research contribute to measuring the extent of success of Hajj. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Prince Khalid Al-Faisal stressed that there is no need to mention how much Saudi Arabia has spent on Hajj season and the sacred places, what is important is what successes have been achieved. In a question about "Makkah Road Initiative" and the extent of its benefit and expansion, he said, "This is what we wish, we started last year with two countries only, we dealt with it with success, and this year there are 5 countries which implemented this initiative. This initiative made it easy for pilgrims, their countries and for us as well." --SPA 00:17 LOCAL TIME 21:17 GMT 0027 www.spa.gov.sa/w1155343
