Regions of the North Caucasus will become part of the "Sacred Path" project, aimed at developing Islamic religious tourism in Russia. The project was developed by the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia (SAMR).
According to the head of the SAMR, Mufti of Moscow Albir Krganov, the "Sacred Path" project envisions the creation of more than 20 thematic routes covering 34 regions of the country. These routes are targeted at both Russian and international tourists, especially from Arab countries.
The key sites of the project will include the "Heart of Chechnya" Mosque in Grozny, the Bulgar Complex and Kul Sharif Mosque in Tatarstan, the Juma Mosque in Derbent, the Quraysh settlement in Dagestan, and other significant sites.
