A prominent historian has highlighted that Hajj is not only one of the pillars of Islam but also a unique gateway to understanding the Kingdom’s rich culture and centuries-old heritage.
Each year, millions of pilgrims arriving in Makkah experience the hospitality, organization, and cultural activities that present the Kingdom as both a spiritual and cultural destination.
The historian noted that Hajj fosters cultural exchange between nations, as pilgrims from around the world come together in an atmosphere of unity and tolerance, witnessing a blend of traditions and customs that enrich the spiritual journey.
He further emphasized that the Kingdom invests significant efforts in showcasing its heritage and culture through initiatives and events held alongside the pilgrimage season, enhancing its global presence.
Hajj thus stands as a global event that reflects the Kingdom’s civilizational role, where faith and culture converge in a powerful expression of Islam’s message of peace, compassion, and mutual understanding among nations.
