Hajj City, in a state of readiness, bids farewell to the guests of God with comprehensive services
A solemn farewell to the pilgrims in the city of Hajj in the state of Ammar
Under the direct supervision of His Royal Highness Prince Fahd bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Tabuk Region and General Supervisor of Hajj Operations in the region, the Hajj Terminal at the Halat Ammar border crossing bid farewell to the pilgrims departing for their home countries after Allah blessed them with the performance of Hajj. This farewell is the culmination of a comprehensive system of services and facilities provided by various participating governmental and service agencies, reflecting the exceptional care that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia dedicates to serving pilgrims from the moment of their arrival until their safe and successful departure.
Halat Ammar crossing: A historical gateway for pilgrims
The Halat Ammar border crossing, located in the Tabuk region, is one of the most important land border crossings in the Kingdom, serving as a major gateway for pilgrims arriving from the Levant, Egypt, and North Africa. Historically, these land routes served as caravan routes for Hajj pilgrims for centuries, and today they have been transformed into modern arteries thanks to the advanced infrastructure provided by the Kingdom. The “Pilgrims’ City” at Halat Ammar exemplifies these efforts, designed as a comprehensive reception and departure point, equipped with all the necessary facilities to ensure the comfort and safety of pilgrims and facilitate their smooth and easy passage.
An integrated service system for an easy spiritual journey
The Hajj City continues to implement the final phase of its operational plan for this year's Hajj season, demonstrating a high level of readiness and seamless integration across all sectors. This system aims to ensure the swift completion of procedures and the provision of top-tier guidance, health, and humanitarian services. The city has dedicated all its resources to guaranteeing a smooth departure process and providing a comfortable and safe environment befitting the pilgrims. Services provided include medical care, distribution of meals and chilled water, and the presentation of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' gift of copies of the Holy Quran, intended as a valuable resource for pilgrims on their return journey.
Positive feedback and international impact
The successful management of the movement and departure of pilgrims through land border crossings like Halat Ammar reinforces the Kingdom's international standing as a leader in crowd management and the provision of complex logistical services. These efforts not only facilitate the pilgrims' journey but also send a message to the world about the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to serving Islam and Muslims. Regionally, this organization exemplifies effective border cooperation, while locally, it highlights the vital role of the Tabuk region as an integral part of the national Hajj system.
Unforgettable memories and certificates of appreciation
The pilgrims departed with memories of an exceptional spiritual journey, one that extended beyond the performance of the rituals to encompass the care, attention, and organization they received. Several pilgrims expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the services and facilities provided. Hajj Faisal Sadaqa from Jordan said, “From the moment we arrived in the Kingdom, we were treated with the utmost care and attention. Services were readily available at every stage, whether here in the Hajj Terminal in Al-Ammar or in the holy sites. We performed the rituals with ease and comfort, and we depart today carrying the most beautiful memories of this blessed journey.” Hajjah Kafa’a Mahmoud, also from Jordan, praised the meticulous organization and the swift completion of procedures, emphasizing that the integrated services contributed to creating an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility, enabling the pilgrims to perform their rituals with ease and convenience.
