Saudi Arabia Says Qataris Welcome to Perform Umrah

Jeddah, MINA — The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has said that so far this Ramadan, around seven million Muslims from all around the world have performed the Umrah rituals in ease, comfort, and security.

The Ministry has responded to the negative attitude of Qatari authorities regarding whether Qatari citizens and residents were allowed to perform Hajj and Umrah rituals, saying it welcomes Qataris who have completed registering their legal information upon arrival at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, SPA, the Ministry said, “Upon the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Vice President of the Council of Ministers, and Minister of Defence, the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has harnessed all its capabilities and resources to serve the needs of Umrah performers during their stay in the Kingdom.”
