From Flight to Stay, All Set by Saudi Arabia— President Muizzu to Leave for Hajj on Royal Invitation
President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu and First Lady Sajidha Mohamed are set to depart for Saudi Arabia on Saturday to perform Hajj on a special invitation from King Salman, with the journey fully sponsored by the Saudi government. Muizzu said the pilgrimage does not use state funds or the Maldives' Hajj quota, and this is the second time he has been invited for a religious pilgrimage after Umrah in May 2024.
