JEDDAH: The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has concluded arrangements for the arrival of about 2 million pilgrims from all over the world to perform the annual Hajj this year.
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, the Saudi authorities have dedicated a special link to deal with Hajj requests from the Qatari pilgrims.
Qatari nationals who wish to perform Hajj this year can register themselves using the link on the ministry’s website. The link will be made available online during Dhul Qa’dah. Qatari pilgrims can use the link to make arrangements for accommodation, transportation and food in Makkah and Madinah. The arrival and departure of Qatari pilgrims will take place via King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah and through any airlines except Qatar Airways.
The ministry affirmed the Saudi government welcomes pilgrims of different nationalities, sects and races from all over the world.
