Weather of Arabia - Saudi Arabia announced that it will grant multiple-entry visas to all holders of the "Haya" card for fans of the World Cup in football scheduled for the end of the year in neighboring Qatar, in an effort to attract them to visit it and revive the tourism and hospitality sectors in the Kingdom.
