The first batch of Muslim pilgrims embarking on the 2019 hajji has been air lifted from the Tamale International Airport in the Northern Region to Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

The aircraft, Boeing 747-400 airlifted Four Hundred and Ninety-two (492) pligrims in its first trip. <\/p>\n

The Mion Lana and other Chiefs in the Northern Region led pilgrims from the region to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Muslim Pilgrims went through immigration checks at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium where the hajj village is located before being transported to the Tamale International Airport.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Hajj Board, Sheikh I.C Quaye addressing journalists said government has prepared adequately for the arrival of pilgrims from Ghana.<\/p>\n

According to him, government secured 5 star hotels for the comfort of pilgrims in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

He indicated that last year, Ghana was adjudged the best country among other black African countries that embarked on hajj in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Mr. Quaye disclosed that arrangements have been made for Ghanaian dishes to be served to Ghanaian pilgrims throughout their stay in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery urged pilgrims to be ambassadors of Ghana and respect the laws of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

He encouraged the Northern Chiefs to sustain the current religious peace in the region.<\/p>\n
