Pilgrims commended the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the efficient management of crowds. They highlighted the early issuance of permits and the ‘Nusuk Card’, which significantly streamlined access and movement between sacred locations. The journey from Mina to Arafat, Muzdalifah; and finally the stoning of the Jamarat were carried out with remarkable efficiency and minimal delay. They also lauded Kuwait International Airport for its efforts, including the establishment of special counters and fast-track lanes exclusively for pilgrims. From disembarkation to baggage collection and onward travel, pilgrims reported a smooth and trouble- free experience.

They expressed deep appreciation for the efforts of Kuwaiti Hajj caravans, commending them for their exceptional organization and close follow up throughout the pilgrimage. They described these campaigns as “pioneering,” particularly the initiative in collecting luggage prior to departure from the Holy Land. “This advance handling of baggage streamlined arrival procedures at Kuwait International Airport, allowing pilgrims to bypass traditional baggage claim areas and exit the terminals with ease,” they disclosed. Meanwhile, Mansour Al-Hashemi -- Director of Operations at Kuwait International Airport -- announced that 28 inbound flights from the Holy Land are scheduled over the coming days. He said 12 of these flights are operated by Kuwait Airways, 11 by Saudia Airline and five by Flynas.
