Mecca, June 22 (QNA) - Today, the first rounds of pilgrims from the State of Qatar arrived in Mecca to perform the Hajj for the year 1444 AH, as large numbers of the country's pilgrims left Hamad International Airport in a number of campaigns on board Qatar Airways.
The Department of Hajj and Umrah Affairs at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, in coordination with all concerned authorities in the country, was keen to complete the travel procedures for pilgrims easily and smoothly. The Qatari Hajj Mission in the Holy Land, with all its supporting units and specialized committees, is working to serve the pilgrims of the State of Qatar and the Qatari campaigns, making every effort and harnessing all capabilities and means of support in order to enable them to perform the Fifth Pillar and all rituals in the best conditions.
Flocks of pilgrims from the State of Qatar continue arriving in Mecca to perform the Hajj rituals for this year by arriving to King Abdulaziz International Airport and the Pilgrims Airport in Jeddah. All pilgrims are set to arrive in Mecca on Friday and Saturday. They have been distributed over 19 approved campaigns, all of which work with all their administrative and technical staff to serve pilgrims during the Hajj season in Mecca and the holy sites.
A number of pilgrims from the State of Qatar expressed their thanks to the Qatari Hajj mission for its efforts, praising the ease of procedures, starting from the arrival flight from Hamad International Airport, their travel in cooperation with Qatar Airways, and arriving in Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including receiving their bags and riding their buses in coordination with their campaign representatives, until they arrived at their residence in Mecca.
