Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfig Al-Rabiah held a phone call with head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran Dr. Alireza Bayat.

Minister Al-Rabiah reassured Dr. Bayat during the call that the safety and smooth implementation of the pilgrims' transfer plan would be ensured at all stages—from their departure from Makkah and Madinah through King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah to the Jadidat Arar land crossing.

This comes in implementation of the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and based on the recommendation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to facilitate all the needs of Iranian pilgrims and ensure the provision of all necessary services until conditions are in place for their safe return to their homeland and families.

The first group of Iranian pilgrims departed today, Sunday, as part of the implementation plan overseen by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and monitored by a dedicated operations room that provided care and services to the pilgrims until the moment of their departure.

Dr. Bayat expressed his deep thanks and gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and HRH the Crown Prince for the care and attention extended to the Iranian pilgrims throughout their stay in the Kingdom.

He also appreciated the dedication of the minister and his continuous follow-up to facilitate their procedures and ensure their comfort at all stages of Hajj.
