For his part, Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dr. Abdulfattah bin Suleiman Mashat said the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has created an electronic path, linking all Hajj-related bodies to shorten the time spent to fulfill the measure and control the level of the service offered. It has also launched a smart translation in all world live languages in addition to reminding pilgrims of the scheduled time of starting to move from one point to another.
