Indonesian couple realizes Hajj dream after forty years

An Indonesian couple, after four decades of saving, has finally realized their lifelong dream of performing the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. The couple expressed immense joy at reaching Islam's holiest site. Hajji Legiman, a cleaning worker, and his wife were able to travel to Saudi Arabia through the "Mecca Route" Initiative. This program streamlines the pilgrimage process for Indonesian pilgrims, making their journey easier. The couple began saving in 1986, overcoming financial challenges to fulfill the religious obligation. Over 221,000 Indonesian pilgrims are expected to participate in the Hajj this year.
