First group of Qatar pilgrims in Makkah

The first group of Qatar pilgrims arrived in Makkah yesterday via land with the rest set to arrive by Monday via air transport.
Qatar’s 12,000 pilgrims are divided over 10 missions, nine of which are reaching Makkah via air. The Qatari Haj delegation had arrived several days earlier to ensure the readiness of the residential locations of pilgrims in Makkah as well as Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah.
The delegation works throughout the Haj duration to make sure that Qatar’s pilgrims are provided with specialised services and are in the best conditions that facilitate the rituals for them safely and easily.
Qatar’s pilgrims can reach the Haj delegation by calling 132 inside Qatar or on the toll-free number 800-3040444 in Saudi Arabia. They can also download a dedicated mobile app which is compatible with all smartphones and offers a wide variety of information about Haj rituals and how to contact the delegation.
