Damascus, Aug. 4 (SANA) A total of approximately 2.2 million travelers crossed the Nasib border crossing with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in both directions since the beginning of this year, reflecting the continued growth in passenger movement through one of Syria’s main land gateways.
The General Authority for Border Crossings and Customs said via its Telegram channel on Tuesday that more than 24,000 Syrian citizens voluntarily returned to the country through the crossing during the same period, highlighting the increasing activity at the border post and the efficiency of procedures regulating passenger traffic.
The authority also highlighted the key role played by the Nasib crossing in facilitating the transit of Umrah pilgrims arriving overland from Türkiye, Lebanon, and several European countries, in addition to Syrian pilgrims, as they travel through Jordan to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It noted that border personnel continue to expedite procedures and provide the necessary services to ensure the smooth continuation of their journeys.
Located about 15 kilometers from the city of Daraa, the Nasib border crossing covers an area of 2,600 dunums along the Syrian-Jordanian border. In recent years, it has undergone a comprehensive modernization process that included upgrades to its facilities, logistics services, and daily operational procedures.
