With warmth and reverence, Saudi Arabia has welcomed the first groups of Hajj pilgrims for the 1446 AH season, arriving through King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah.
The reception of the pilgrims reflects the Kingdom’s ongoing commitment to providing world-class services and seamless experiences for guests of Allah, ensuring their comfort, safety, and spiritual fulfillment throughout their journey.
Pilgrims were greeted with flowers, dates, and refreshments, and were presented with commemorative gifts upon arrival.
Many expressed deep appreciation for the hospitality and efficiency of the Saudi authorities, noting the ease of entry procedures and the comprehensive support systems in place — from transportation and healthcare to guidance and information services.
As more pilgrims continue to arrive from around the world, Saudi Arabia remains fully prepared with robust logistical, security, and health plans. These efforts are in line with Vision 2030, which places the service of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims at the heart of national development goals.
