Long queues at border crossing prompt call for digitalising travel procedures

AMMAN — Digitalising travel procedures is key to reducing traffic congestion at the Omari border crossing between Jordan and Saudi Arabia ahead of the Eid Al Adha holidays, say travellers. 

Jordanian expatriates endured hours-long wait at the Omari border crossing on Friday ahead of the Eid Al Adha holidays. Social media users reported long queues and frustration among Jordanian expats at the crossing. 

Despite the fact that some travel procedures were digitalised, travellers claim that many procedures are still done manually, stressing the urgent need to digitalise the remaining procedures for a more efficient and quick travel experience.
