A further 54,429 entered by road, while 6,497 arrived by sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saudi authorities also highlighted the continued expansion of the Makkah Route Initiative, which aims to simplify travel and immigration procedures for pilgrims before they depart from their home countries. According to the report, 388,694 pilgrims benefited from the initiative during this year\u2019s Hajj season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serving the millions of pilgrims required a vast logistical and humanitarian operation.
