Efforts made to ensure seamless travel for Hajj pilgrims

Ibri - Relentless efforts are being made by the competent authorities to streamline the procedures for Hajj pilgrims heading to Saudi Arabia through the Empty Quarter crossing in Al Dhahirah Governorate.

Over 14,000 pilgrims from the Sultanate of Omam have registered to perform the Hajj this year.

The procedures provided by the Department of Endowments and Religious Affairs in the governorate at the border crossing are to process the pilgrims’ permits required to perform Hajj rituals, in addition to permits for vehicles transporting pilgrims, in coordination with the Omani Hajj Mission.

This year witnessed the speedy clearance of pilgrims’ passage through the ports, which reflects the keenness of the concerned authorities to facilitate all procedures related to pilgrims.

Efforts are also being made on the road leading to the land port, where the Social Development Committee, represented by the Ibri Charitable Team, took the initiative by providing various road services and establishing a station in the Wilayat of Ibri to receive about 99 buses from various governorates of the Sultanate of Oman, in cooperation with the Royal Oman Police.
