As many as 12,836 Iraqi pilgrims crossed the Arar new outlet in the northern border region until dawn today, who are enroute to the holy places to perform this year's Hajj rituals. These pilgrims received all facilities and fine services in the light of the care and attention accorded by the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz and his Crown Prince, from the moment of the arrival in the Kingdom through land, air and sea routes to enable them perform Hajj rituals in ease and comfort under the follow up and supervision of Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz bin Musaid , the Governor of the northern border region and Chairman of the region's Hajj Committee.
