Saida Mirziyoyeva, Head of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Uzbekistan, met in Cairo with Sheikh Ahmad Muhammad Tayyib, the Grand Imam of Egypt and Head of the Al-Azhar complex.
The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation between Uzbekistan and Egypt in the fields of spirituality, science, and education.
The latest group of Uzbek pilgrims is performing their acts of worship in Makkah al-Mukarramah, including the Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Kaaba, as well as the five daily prayers and voluntary (nafl) prayers.
They also visited several sacred sites such as Mount Arafat, Mount Nur, Mount Thawr, and the blessed valleys of Mina and Muzdalifah.
During their stay in Madinah al-Munawwarah, the pilgrims visited the Rawdah, Mount Uhud, and the Quba Mosque, and continue to perform their daily and optional prayers at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
Throughout the journey, Uzbek pilgrims have been treated with great respect and provided with comfortable accommodations — Pullman Zamzam Hotel (Madinah) and Al-Ayyam Elite Hotel (Makkah) offer excellent 5-star services to ensure a pleasant stay.
May Allah Almighty accept the worship and prayers of all the pilgrims and grant us the honor of making supplication beside His Sacred House.
