During his visit to Saudi Arabia, the Jordanian Minister of Endowments and Islamic affairs looked into the arrangements of Pilgrimage season.

He also requested increasing the visas granted for Jordanian drivers to guarantee the safety of pilgrims on their way to Hajj, and increasing the number of administrators’ visas given to companies.

The Saudi Minister accepted the Jordanian request of adjusting the multi-visit visa termination date until the end of November, instead of the original deadline on November 25.

The minister also requested changing the location of Jordanian pilgrims in Mashaar Mina so that it’s closer to the “jamrat”, in addition to considering converting pilgrims’ camps in Jabal Arafat into VIP camps with enlarging its space and providing pilgrims with the needed services.
