Their arrival was welcomed by the Indonesian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Abdul Aziz Ahmad, Nasrullah Jasam Hajj Consul, Head of the Airport Working Area (Danny) Hajj Organizing Officer (PPIH) Abdillah.
Abdul Aziz and other officials welcomed the congregation and gave a set of flowers for each participant in the hajj candidate.
Hajj officers also welcomed the congregation swiftly. There are those who demand the congregation to the bus, cover them and push the wheelchair. Shortly after arriving at the airport, the bus then moved to their respective hotels in Medina.
Arriving at the congregation's hotel, they were again greeted with the joy of praying badar and giving flowers to Indonesian pilgrims. Not a few congregants can't help but get off the bus.
Hajj officers who have been on standby since dawn at the Abraj Tabah Hotel, which is the first batch of hotel arrivals, immediately direct the congregation to the entrance to the hotel. Don't forget that warm-up drinks and dates are welcoming snacks.
The first batch of pilgrims will be in Medina for nine days. After that, they will depart for Makkah to carry out the entire series of Hajj services.
"Alhamdulillah, this service is very good. Because this comes through the fast track, it doesn't take long to queue at the airport," said the Indonesian Ambassador in Saudi Arabia Abdul Azis.

Azis advised the congregation not to overestimate their worship after arriving in Medina. Moreover, the peak of the pilgrimage when Armuzna was still long. So that when the peak of the pilgrimage, their condition is in good condition.
"Worship is good, but don't be too physical, which can actually reduce energy. Don't wait later because we continue to do Arbain when the peak of the hajj loses energy," he said.
