The majority of Bahraini Hajj pilgrims are set to return to the Kingdom via Bahrain International Airport today and tomorrow. A total of 4,625 Bahraini pilgrims participated in this year’s Hajj, distributed among 24 campaigns. Some pilgrims opted to stay two nights in Medina and will return via King Fahd International Airport tomorrow and Saturday. Dammam International Airport and King Fahd Causeway will receive the remaining groups of pilgrims who chose to stay in Medina, aiming to provide a smooth arrival process.
Over three flights carrying pilgrims are expected to arrive at Bahrain International Airport on both Thursday and Friday. Some pilgrims chose to return earlier this week, numbering 26, in order to get back to work. The Civil Aviation Affairs administration is working closely with airport entities to ensure a seamless arrival process for the returning pilgrims. Members of the CAA are assisting with arrival procedures in collaboration with customs, airlines, and airport passport control. Authorities are also prepared to receive and facilitate the procedures for the returning pilgrims.
The merger of 61 campaigns resulted in 24 campaigns for the Bahraini Hajj pilgrims this year. Pilgrims who stayed in Medina are returning via King Fahd International Airport in Dammam or by bus, depending on their initial travel method to Makkah. The goal is to provide a comfortable and efficient return journey for all pilgrims, whether they chose to stay in Medina or return early to work. The CAA’s efforts to streamline the arrival process demonstrate a commitment to ensuring a smooth experience for the returning pilgrims.
