Saudi Arabia facilitates return of 65,000 Iranian pilgrims after Hajj

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia has successfully facilitated the return of nearly 65,000 Iranian pilgrims following the completion of Hajj 1446, with another 11,000 scheduled to depart in the coming days.

The coordinated effort reflects royal directives by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aimed at ensuring safe and efficient travel procedures for all pilgrims.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah confirmed that over 2,000 shuttle trips were organized between Arar Airport and the Jadidat Arar Port, while 200 buses completed more than 1,500 journeys across Iraqi territory to the Iranian border.

The Ministry of Interior and General Directorate of Passports also deployed extensive support to ensure the process proceeded safely and smoothly.
