The World Pilgrimage Program is an annual initiative that aims to host 100 Umrah pilgrims from "new Muslims" worldwide. Its purpose is to allow them to perform Umrah, gain an understanding of the principles of true Islam, and organize visits to the holy cities of Makkah and Medina. These visits are coordinated with the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque to showcase the Kingdom's efforts in serving the Two Holy Mosques and the true Islamic religion. Additionally, a tourist entertainment program is arranged for the participants. The program concludes with an honoring ceremony for the Umrah performers in the city of Jeddah.
