In a press release on Thursday, Gomaa, who also leads the Egyptian national Hajj mission, thanked President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab and Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed El Tayyeb for their continuous following up of pilgrims' conditions.
He also thanked missions' heads for helping pilgrims during Hajj.
