Alhamdulillah! 1,300 Indonesian Pilgrims Stayed At The Pullman Zamzam Madinah Hotel

JAKARTA - There are 1,300 Indonesian pilgrims occupying 5-star hotels in Medina. This is one of the policies of the Saudi Arabian government which provides 5-star hotel facilities to the congregation.

But the system is scrambled. There is no special treatment or facilities that are different from other congregants. It's just that they can enjoy the facilities of a 5-star hotel while in Medina.

The Head of the Medina Working Area Accommodation (Daker) Section, Ihsan Faisal, explained that there were four groups that got rooms in 5-star hotels. The four groups came from the Jakarta-Bekasi (JKS), Surabaya (SUB) and Batam (BTH) embarkations.

"The congregation of the four groups was placed at the Pullman Zamzam Medina hotel, a 5-star hotel with international standards, services and facilities. The distance to the Prophet's Mosque is only 50 meters," he said, in Medina, Tuesday (14/6/2022).

"There are a total of 1,300 worshippers. Thank God, I can place the congregation in a 5 star hotel. All international standards. Because it is a policy from the Saudi Arabian government," explained Ihsan.

There are 16 officers on duty at the Pullman Zamzam hotel in Medina, there are also officers from sector 3 Medina.

"Hopefully the congregation will be comfortable and calm in worshiping. Hopefully they will continue to be healthy so that they can carry out worship at the Prophet's Mosque," Ihsan hoped.
