My target was to get to Saudi Arabia from Qatar to perform Umrah, says one World Cup guest. Here's how Doha is offering low-cost pilgrimage options to fans
Mohammed Abdullah decided to travel to Qatar from his hometown Sidi Bel Abbès in northwestern Algeria, early in November.
Abdullah says he “didn’t hesitate even if I was short on my budget. I just wanted to get to Qatar to start my journey” for Umrah, the year-round pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. With the card, entry to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United Arab Emirates is visa-free. It also allows visitors entry to the stadiums and free access to metro and bus transportation services on match days.
Although prior entry to Qatar with a Hayya card is not mandatory to enter Saudi Arabia, Abdullah still took that route as tickets to Doha were cheaper from Algiers. Ahashanuzzaman Shujan, a Bangladeshi national, also performed Umrah during his stay in Qatar for the World Cup. He also went to Dubai with his Hayya card.
