Riyadh: As Thousands of foreign pilgrims continue to leave Saudi Arabia after performing Haj pilgrimage, the King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) in Jeddah has allocated four halls inside the airport for selling Zamzam water.
Pilgrims travelling on international flights can buy Zamzam water at the door outside the North Hall, KAIA said.
In addition, Zamzam water can be purchased from 3 locations in Hall No. 1, which are— Hall A, Outside Gate B2, and Outside Gate C2.
KAIA also stated that only five-litre bottles of Zamzam water, priced at Saudi Riyal 8.5 (Rs 186), are allowed to be transported.
For pilgrims who leave after performing Umrah or a lesser pilgrimage, they can get Zamzam bottles by booking through the Nusuk application.
