Bahrain pilgrims planning to attend the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca are being urged to comply with the regulations set forth by Saudi Arabia. The competent authorities in Saudi Arabia recently announced that pilgrims who do not have valid Hajj permits will not be allowed to enter the holy sites. To ensure Bahraini pilgrims’ safety and security, the Kingdom of Bahrain is urging its citizens to adhere to the regulations.
Jeddah-based Bahrain General Consul and Permanent Representative to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Moosa Abdulla Alnoaimi, stressed the importance of Hajj permits. He said that the Bahrain General Consulate would work around the clock to facilitate procedures for pilgrims in Mecca, between June 23-30 during the Hajj season.
The General Consulate has opened an office at the Al Nassim district in Mecca to cater to Bahrain pilgrims and follow up on their needs. Alnoaimi has commended the efforts made by the Government of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to serve pilgrims during the Hajj season.
Bahraini pilgrims are urged to use the provided phone numbers for assistance while in Mecca. These include the Foreign Ministry’s phone numbers, which are available 24/7.
Adhering to the regulations set forth by Saudi Arabia is essential to ensure the safety and security of all pilgrims attending the Hajj. Bahraini pilgrims are reminded to comply with these regulations to enjoy a peaceful and fulfilling experience while on their pilgrimage.
