Enhancing workflow and services

To meet the surge in arrivals coinciding with the end of the school year in Gulf countries and the upcoming Eid Al-Adha holiday, an emergency plan was put into action. The center collaborated closely with relevant authorities and security agencies to ensure smooth customs and humanitarian services for all visitors.

Efficiency through increased capacity

The integration of efforts across shifts allowed the center to operate at full capacity, delivering customs and humanitarian services efficiently. This concerted endeavor resulted in the provision of an exceptional number of services within a remarkably short timeframe.
