(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The first groups of Qatari pilgrims have begun arriving in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to perform Haj, with initial flights landing on Thursday amid coordinated arrangements between Qatari authorities, the Haj mission, and Saudi officials.

Flights departed from Hamad International Airport on Qatar Airways and Saudia, carrying pilgrims from 18 approved campaigns, with arrivals continuing through Jeddah's airports until full completion on Sunday, 7 Dhu Al Hijjah.

The Qatari Haj Affairs Department said preparations included early coordination, streamlined airport procedures, and pre-arranged baggage handling services.
