He disclosed this during a visit to accommodations housing Jigawa pilgrims in Makkah on Saturday night.
The visit was aimed at congratulating the pilgrims on the successful completion of the Hajj rites and appreciating them for their conduct throughout the exercise.
The Emir commended the pilgrims for their discipline, patience and adherence to the rules guiding the Hajj operation, urging them to comply with airline baggage regulations as arrangements for their return journey continue.
He advised pilgrims against exceeding the approved luggage limits of 23 kilograms for checked baggage and eight kilograms for hand luggage to avoid losses and inconvenience at the airport.
