Pakistani cricket legend-turned-politician Imran Khan touched base in Jeddah on Wednesday to perform Umrah with his new wife Reham.
Some of his nearby companions in Jeddah, including Zultec CEO and philanthropist Zulqiurnain Ali Khan and Saudi Steel CEO Mohamed H. Zakaria, welcomed the recently marries at King Abdul Aziz International Airport.
"It is a private visit," Zulqiurnain Ali Khan told Arab News. "Performing Umrah is an extraordinary gift and Imran and his wife needed to be here to thank Allah as they leave on another stage in their individual lives. Clearly, he and Reham are enchanted to be here in the sacred area," he said.
"They are here to petition God for the casualties of the Peshawar catastrophe and for the prosperity of Pakistan."
Imran, who heads Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf, is prevalent among youthful Pakistanis and has gotten enormous backing for his crusade for constituent changes. He as of late revived his supporters for a marathon sit in Islamabad that practically injured the current government.
His marriage to Reham on Jan. 9 has turned into all the rage and his devotees are emulating everything he might do. Reham, a TV supporter and stay, who previously worked for the BBC, looked quiet and peaceful on landing in the airplane terminal. She wore a white scarf covering her hair and a beige shawl wrapped around her shoulders.
A couple of hours after their landing, they exited for Makkah to perform Umrah with close companions. On Thursday, they will head to Madinah to pray at the Prophet's Mosque.
They will return to Jeddah on Friday where there is an elite gathering organized for the couple.
Abroad Pakistanis in Jeddah, particularly the late Ahsan Rashid, played a conspicuous part in getting sorted out Imran's political gathering.
