Saudi Ministry confirms about the possibility of Qataris performing Umrah
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has said it will still welcome Qataris wishing to perform Umrah rituals despite a boycott that has been in place for the last year.
The kingdom, Bahrain, Egypt and the UAE expelled Qatari citizens and cut diplomatic, trade and transport links with the country on June 5 over its support of terrorist groups.
The row has shown little sign of being resolved with Qatar invoking a ban on products from the boycotting countries last week and reportedly arranging celebrations to mark the anniversary.

“Upon directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Vice President of the Council of Ministers, and Minister of Defense, the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia harnessed all potentials and capabilities in addition to all human qualified resources for the service of all Umrah performers during their stay in the Kingdom,” the ministry said in a statement to SPA.
“Based on the negative attitude and intransigence of the Qatari authorities to enable citizens and residents of Qatar to perform Haj and Umrah rituals, the Ministry of Haj and Umrah welcomes the Qatari people to perform Umrah rituals following a completion of registering their legal information upon arrival at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah,” the ministry added.
