In short, if you’re heading for Umrah or Hajj, you’ll definitely come across the new Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road!

But it’s not only about easier commutes. Prince Salman bin Sultan, governor of the Madinah region, highlighted how the Crown Prince has been behind major development pushes across Saudi Arabia, and Madinah is clearly feeling the love.

What makes this road even cooler? It’s basically a connector hub for the city, tying into the three big highways: King Faisal Road, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Road, and King Khalid Road.

So whether you’re a pilgrim on a sacred journey, a visitor soaking in the spirit of the holy city, or just someone cruising through, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road is set to be a game-changer for Madinah’s future.
