Qatar appears to have suspended Hajj registration for citizens, residents

Several media outlets reported last month that Qataris were denied access into Mecca and the two holy mosques, which Saudi Arabia has denied.

Qatar’s Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs appears to have suspended registration for the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage, after a message on their registration website indicated it was closed for the time being.

This comes despite Saudi Arabia’s announcements that all citizens and residents of Qatar are welcome to attend Hajj this year and are able to fly to Mecca through any airlines except for Qatar Airways.

According to Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, Qataris who wish to perform Umrah or Hajj can go to the kingdom via any airlines except Qatar Airways and through any flight routes to the kingdom except through Doha. They should enter through King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah or through Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Medina.
