Madinah, March 8 -- Bangladeshi van driver Abdul Salam Md Ramjan Ali's long-cherished dream has become a reality following his inclusion in a programme for the guests of the custodian of the two holy mosques King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to perform Umrah.

"I wanted see in my eyes both holy Makkah and Madinah. I have long been trying to see my request is accepted," Salam told UNB at his place of residence here.
