Saudi Gazette reportMADINAH —
The first groups of pilgrims have departed from Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, marking the start of return operations following the successful completion of this year’s Hajj rituals.Authorities have implemented comprehensive organizational measures to ensure the smooth departure of pilgrims. These efforts include coordinating scheduled transfers from pilgrims’ residences to the airport’s dedicated lounges, helping to streamline check-in procedures and maintain operational efficiency at the airport.
Meanwhile, Madinah continues to receive pilgrims around the clock via the Haramain High Speed Railway — the fastest mode of transport between Makkah and Madinah — which is playing a critical role in the movement of pilgrims during the post-Hajj period.
Following the completion of Hajj, large numbers of pilgrims from diverse nationalities are arriving in Madinah to visit the Prophet’s Mosque. There, they pray and offer salutations to the Prophet Muhammad — peace be upon him — and his two companions, before departing to their home countries.
