I am posting this news since I remember 1-2 Iranian users here complaining about how Iranians were supposedly badly treated when they visited Makkah and Madinah.

Whether he did or not doesn't make any difference. KSA authorities has always been working hard pushing maximum efforts, providing all kind of services for pilgrims from the time they set foot in the country till they return back to their homes. Ensuring comfort and tranquility for pilgrims has always and will remain our priority, so yeah put that back into your pocket we are not in need of your words.

Well, its not only for two weeks, we work around the clock to make sure that Haj/Umrah pilgrims are comfortable,well served and well accommodated, we know no race, we only deal with Muslims as one identity. linguistic variation is not a problem since there are signs everywhere, personal and printed guides are accompanied in every language.

And yes, there are thousands of people, organizations, establishments, governmental sectors who volunteered for every hajj season. I myself have participated three times already. @Yzd Khalifa is going this time too. Isn't that right Yzd?
