Iran's Consul General in Jeddah Hassan Zarnegar praised the level of organization and the facilities provided to Iranian pilgrims during their departure through Arar Airport and the Jadidat Arar border crossing.

He stressed that the smooth procedures he observed reflect the Kingdom and its leadership’s care for pilgrims, and highlight the continuous attention given to pilgrims from all countries.

“The streamlined procedures from the moment pilgrims disembarked the aircraft, to the swift passport processing, and the well-organized transfer to the border crossing by bus, demonstrate efficiency in managing pilgrim affairs,” he was quoted by SPA as saying, adding that the services provided to Iranian pilgrims confirm the Kingdom’s steadfast approach in respecting nations.

He also highlighted that relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran are based on religious and neighborly ties, noting that the care extended to Iranian pilgrims is not surprising in light of this spirit of brotherhood.

On behalf of himself and the Iranian ambassador to the Kingdom, he expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Kingdom’s leadership for the care and attention given to Iranian pilgrims as part of an integrated system.
