Riyadh: Chief Executive Officer of the Quality of Life Program Khalid bin Abdullah Albaker emphasized that the launch of the Prophetic Migration Trail project and the On the Prophet's Path event aims to create an exceptional experience that preserves Saudi Arabia's Islamic, Arab, and national heritage. This initiative aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to enhance Islamic identity and cultural awareness.
According to Saudi Press Agency, Albaker explained that the project focuses on developing key historical sites along the routes Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took during his migration from Makkah to Madinah. It involves restoring and preparing these sites for visitors, revitalizing Islamic heritage, and ensuring seamless access to create a comprehensive visitor experience.

These entities include the Governorates of Madinah and Makkah, the Ministry of Tourism, the Pilgrim Experience Program, Al Madinah Region Development Authority, the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), and the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA).
The project seeks to commemorate the noble event of the Prophet's migration by developing a unique cultural trail that traverses historical landmarks associated with the migration. Visitors will have the opportunity to relive the moments and events of this pivotal journey, highlighting its historical and spiritual significance.
