Dr. Ali Bayat expressed his sincere thanks and gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the care and attention provided to the Iranian pilgrims throughout their stay in the Kingdom. He also appreciated the ongoing follow-up of His Excellency the Minister of Hajj and Umrah to facilitate procedures and ensure the comfort of pilgrims at all stages of the journey.
