A significant development in “religious tourism” was made in Lahore on Friday when a group of 25 motorcycles travelled by road to Saudi Arabia to do the Umrah.
To get to Makkah the cyclists must go more than 14,000 kilometres.

It can be undertaken at any time of the year, in contrast to the Ḥajj, which has specific dates according to the Islamic lunar calendar.
