Saudi Arabia limits Qatari pilgrims to two airports
The Kingdown treats all pilgrims equally
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Saudi Arabia announced that Qatari pilgrims will be allowed access to Saudi Arabia via only two designated airports, media reports said on Sunday.
Saudi Arabia's Haj and Umrah Ministry confirmed that pilgrims and Umra performers from Qatar should arrive only at King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah and Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Airport in the holy city Madinah, Xinhua news agency reported, quoting Al Jazira local online newspaper.
Saudi Arabia last week said Qatari pilgrims can come via any but the Qatari Airline.
In June, after announcing that it will cut ties with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, however, denied that Qatari nationals will be refused entry into the holy city of Makkah.
Saudi Arabia, together with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, has snapped ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorists and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
