Bahrain will open its airspace to Qatar as of Jan. 11, the civil aviation affairs authority said on Sunday, following a deal by Arab states last week to end the Gulf row with Doha.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have already announced reopening air, land and sea entry points to Qatar.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister had said at the summit that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt agreed to restore all ties with Qatar which were severed over Doha’s support for terrorism.

Saudi Arabia’s Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi (Adahi) kicked off on Friday its operations to perform meat sacrifices at the Hajj on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.

Adahi General Coordinator Saad Abdul Rahman Al-Wabil said the operations are taking place within an integrated system aimed at facilitating the procedure and so that the pilgrims can perform their holy rituals smoothly and at ease.

The project aims to carry out 950,000 sacrifices within 84 hours.

Al-Wabil said the project is operating seven complexes providing high quality services to the pilgrims.

He added that 25,000 members of staff are ready to carry out their duties.

Adahi is committed to respecting all relevant Sharia and health conditions to perform the sacrifice, from the moment of slaughter to distribution and delivery of the meat to those in need, he stressed.

These efforts are an extension of the support by Saudi Arabia and its leadership to Hajj pilgrims, he added.
