Passports Directorate Deploys Airport E-Gates to Speed Up Pilgrim Departures

The General Directorate of Passports is utilizing modern technologies, including self-service E-gates at international airports, to streamline departure procedures for post-Hajj pilgrims across all border ports.

 By instantly matching biometric data, these automated E-gates allow departing pilgrims to complete passport control steps independently in a matter of seconds. This Ministry of Interior initiative significantly enhances passenger flow, reduces waiting times, and ensures a smoother, more efficient exit journey for travelers.
