The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has deployed advanced technologies and smart systems—coordinating with relevant authorities—to facilitate the departure of Iranian pilgrims through the Jadidat Arar border crossing toward Iran.
This initiative follows the directive of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and the recommendation of His Royal Highness Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to ensure the provision of all necessary services and support for Iranian pilgrims until they return safely to their families.
SDAIA field teams began operations before and during the pilgrims’ arrival by executing a comprehensive technical plan. This included testing both primary and backup systems and ensuring the readiness of communication networks to guarantee continuous service.
Routine preventive maintenance was carried out, and workstations were equipped with cutting-edge technologies and digital infrastructure. These efforts, in close coordination with government agencies, enabled streamlined procedures to maximize operational efficiency and enhance the pilgrims’ experience.
SDAIA remains committed to empowering government entities with data- and AI-driven solutions to serve pilgrims and Umrah performers. Through the use of digital platforms, emerging technologies, and skilled personnel, SDAIA continues to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by boosting government service performance and accelerating procedural efficiency.
