Today marked an important historic landmark in the development of Hajj Operations to Nigeria as its citizens for the first time landed Daif International Airport, a town that’s approximately an hour drive from Makkah.
The two travel agencies brought with them one hundred 2023 Hajj Pilgrims and have headed to Madinah.
The arrival into the Kingdom via Taif International airport is in accordance with the new developments introduced for this year’s Hajj by the Saudi Authorities to open more airports for arrivals of foreign Pilgrims into Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦.
The new policy was mentioned by the Saudian Minister of Hajj at Jeddah OIC Meeting during his update to the delegation of the representatives of the member countries.
The Makkah Deputy Coordinator Alhaji Alidu Shutti and Mutawwif Company Liason officer Dr. Aliyu Tanko and pressmen were at the airport to receive the Pilgrims.
