During the meeting, services provided to Omani pilgrims during Hajj season of 2016 (1437) was discussed. They have in addition checked the arrangements and preparations to receive the pilgrims to the Kaa'bah, to optimise the services provided.
The Haj Affairs Undersecretary noted the effectiveness of the electronic portal for pilgrims that the ministry is keen to provide again this year. He has also stressed the importance of compliance with the programmes prepared by the Ministry of Haj, including continued promotion of pilgrims' awareness before their arrival to the KSA, following mass transport programmes and scheduled timings on the Jamaraat bridge for the "stoning of the devil" ritual, as well as on the registration of the contracts of pilgrims' housing in the licenced accommodation.
In their turn, the delegation's head praised the integrated services provided by the Saudi government to pilgrims in Makkah, Madinah, and the Holy Sites; the enormous expansions at the Two Holy Mosques, including the expansion of the Mataf (the area surrounding Ka'abah); and the continuous achievements executed to serve pilgrims, most notably the Holy Sites train, and the Two-Holy Mosques train project that is currently in progress.
