Saudi Arabia Dedicates Web Link to Facilitate Qataris’ Performance of Hajj

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has dedicated a link on its website to facilitate the Qatari pilgrims’ performance of the Hajj rituals this year.

The Ministry has concluded arrangements for the arrival of about two million pilgrims from all over the world for this year’s Hajj, in accordance with the directives of the Saudi leadership.

The ministry cited the unresponsiveness of the office of the affairs of pilgrims in Qatar with the concerned parties to finalize the arrangements and requirements of the pilgrims. It also accused it of stalling in completing the necessary procedures to enable Qatari citizens to perform the Hajj.

The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, therefore, announced that it will receive Qatari brothers who wish to perform Hajj at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

They can register themselves through the link on the Hajj ministry website. It will be available during the month of Dhul Qadah this year.

The link will grant them access to necessary services, such as housing, transport and subsistence, in Makkah, Madinah and the holy sites.

The arrival and departure of Qatari pilgrims will take place via King Abdulaziz International Airport and through any airlines except Qatar Airways.

The ministry stressed that the government of Saudi Arabia welcomes pilgrims of all nationalities, sects and races from all over the world and seeks to provide the best services to enable them to perform Hajj with ease and comfort from the moment of their arrival and until their departure.
