Saudi Arabia dedicated on Wednesday an online portal for Qataris wishing to perform this year’s Hajj pilgrimage.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said that the platform was set up at the orders of the Saudi leadership.

Through the platform, applicants can submit their information and choose the services that best suit their needs, it explained.

All services provided by the Kingdom for the pilgrims stem from its constant principles to facilitate the arrival of Muslims from all over the world to perform the Hajj and Umrah, it added.

The ministry called on the Qatari authorities to refrain from blocking the website as it did in the past and ensure that the Qataris are able to smoothly perform the Hajj.
