Dubai’s General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA Dubai) welcomed returning Hajj pilgrims arriving through Dubai Airports with a special commemorative passport stamp marking their homecoming.

The stamp carries the message “The UAE Welcomes the Return of Pilgrims,” reflecting the country’s gesture of appreciation and hospitality toward citizens and residents completing the annual pilgrimage.

Authorities said the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the arrival experience at Dubai’s entry points while recognising the spiritual journey pilgrims undertook to the holy sites. Passengers arriving at Dubai Airports were greeted with streamlined procedures and the symbolic stamp, which officials described as a message of pride and national welcome.

The gesture underscores the UAE’s broader commitment to providing seamless travel services and honouring significant religious occasions with community-focused initiatives.
