Pakistani pilgrims have thanked the government for making excellent arrangements during Hajj.

In an exclusive talk with Radio Pakistan's Correspondent Muhammad Akram Khan in Makkah today, they said they were served with hygienic food, comfortable accommodation, quality health facilities, and air-conditioned transport in Makkah and Medina.

The Hujjaj also lauded facilities extended during their stay in Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah. They appreciated the role of Moavineen and Haram guides, who made their stay at the holy land comfortable.

The pilgrims were also happy with the massive Saudi arrangements to facilitate 2.5 million pilgrims from across the globe.

A total of 1,403 local khuddam were deputed in Makkah, Medina, and Jeddah to help and guide pilgrims at every step.
