Qatari Pilgrims Are Being Welcomed With A Sign As They Arrive In Jeddah Despite Rumours They’re Not Allowed In

ByShereen Ahmed

A new batch of Qatari pilgrims arrived on Sunday at Jeddah International Airport coming through via Kuwait, according to Al Arabiya.

Photos of their arrival to the Kingdom were also shared on social media to prove that Qataris are, indeed, welcome to Saudi Arabia to perform their Hajj.

500 Qatari pilgrims have registered so far and the number is expected to rise

During Arafat Day, the number is expected to rise especially due to the fact that the admissions are still open. Most of the pilgrims mentioned obtaining their registrations from Kuwait and not Qatar.
