Riyadh: King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) in Jeddah has set the conditions for carrying Zamzam water bottles for Umrah pilgrims returning to their countries.
KAIA said in an infographic via Twitter that the carrying process requires purchasing the permitted five-liter container from the main selling points, and not placing it inside their shipped baggage.
KAIA indicated that one package is allowed for each departing international pilgrims, provided that there is a reservation for the Umrah on the “Nusuk” application.
King Abdulaziz International Airport receives the largest number of pilgrims and Umrah performers coming to the land.
