ZATCA added that it had prepared all capabilities early to receive pilgrims through its land, sea, and air ports, where the bus capacity through land customs ports exceeds 1,800 buses per day. ZATCA also provides its services through more than 230 dedicated lanes for buses and cars to complete customs procedures, and more than 10 halls that ZATCA has prepared with all services, providing means of comfort for the pilgrims, and where relevant entities also provide their services through more than 290 counters.
