- The arrival and departure of Qatari pilgrims will take place via King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah
- The ministry affirmed the Saudi government welcomes pilgrims of different nationalities
JEDDAH: The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said it welcomes the arrival of Qatari pilgrims this year.
Qataris, who wish to perform Hajj can register via a link on the ministry’s website, http://qh.haj.gov.sa.
“The arrival and departure of Qatari pilgrims will take place via King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah… through any airlines except Qatar Airways,” the ministry said.
The special link has been set up due to a lack of cooperation on the part of the office of the affairs of pilgrims in Qatar with the parties concerned in finalizing arrangements for pilgrims.
Qatari pilgrims can use the link to make arrangements for accommodation, transportation and food in Makkah and Madinah.
The ministry affirmed the Saudi government welcomes pilgrims of different nationalities, sects and races from all over the world.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE — collectively known as the Anti-Terror Quartet — insist that Qatar must comply with 13 point list of demands to refrain from supporting and sponsoring terror and stop interfering in other countries’ internal affairs.
