With the initiative starting on March 1, Qatar Airways passengers departing from Jeddah can access this service at the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, a Fairmont Hotel. Conveniently located at the hotel entrance from the ring road on L2, this initiative minimizes airport wait times and allows pilgrims to focus on their spiritual journey with ease.
