The Public Security Department issued a warning amid increased traffic on the Saudi-Qatar border. All documents must be presented including the reservation obtained at Qatar Parking. The Saudi public security department said vehicles that do not will be turned back before reaching the border.
Those relying on bus services by parking their vehicles at the Salwa border should also have reservation documents for traveling in buses. The security department said that those who do not produce sufficient bus reservation documents will be stopped at the check post.
