Saudi Arabia announced Tuesday that it was welcoming Qataris who are seeking to perform the Umrah rituals.

It added that it has dedicated an online platform for worshippers from the Gulf state.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah explained that the worshippers are required to register their information to a dedicated website for Qatari travelers.

They will then be required to travel though the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah or Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah.

The facilitations provided by the Kingdom to Umrah pilgrims are under the orders of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, said the ministry.

The Kingdom is honored by King Salman’s hosting of the Umrah and Hajj pilgrims from all over the world, it stressed.
