Qatar and Saudi Arabia have reopened the land border, AFP reported, citing Qatari sources.

Saudi Arabia closed its side of Qatar's only land border in June 2017 as part of a boycott of Doha that the Saudis, Bahrain, UAE, and Egypt have accused of supporting terrorism.

On January 4, Kuwait's FM Sheikh Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah announced that an agreement had been reached on the opening of airspace, as well as land and sea borders between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Qatar has announced strict COVID-19 control measures for arrivals from the Saudi side, which will require travelers to present a negative test result, undergo a new test at the border, and quarantine at a government-approved hotel for one week.
