Saudi Arabia slaps curbs on Qatari Haj pilgrims
Saudi Arabia has imposed restrictions on Qataris wanting to perform this year's Haj pilgrimage.
In a statement, the Saudi Haj ministry said Qatari pilgrims arriving by plane must use airlines in agreement with the Saudi authorities.
They also needed to get visas on arrival in Jeddah or Medina, their sole points of entry in the kingdom, the ministry added.
It said Qataris and residents of the Gulf emirate could join the pilgrimage as they were already "electronically registered for the Haj" and they had the necessary permits from Riyadh and Doha.
The Haj is to take place this year at the beginning of September. Source
