The Ministry of Interior has recently required passport ******rs at the Kingdom?s international airports to wear a thobe (white robe), shemagh (headgear) and iqal (black rope-like cord) instead of the official passport department uniform. I hope this new change in the dress code will also result in a change in the way the Kingdom?s immigration ******rs welcome and say goodbye to **n-Saudi passengers arriving in or leaving our country. When people travel to other countries, the first thing they expect from the immigration ******r is a big welcoming smile. They also expect the immigration ******r to treat them nicely.
