Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman took Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani on a tour of Al Ula’s heritage sites on Tuesday.

The crown prince and emir toured the area following Tuesday’s Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit, which was being held in the city, and after the signing of an agreement to end a three-year rift between Qatar, GCC states and Egypt.

It was announced on Monday that Saudi Arabia and Qatar were reopening borders and airspace between the two countries.

Prince Mohammed said the agreement showed the importance of solidarity and security among Gulf, Arab and Muslim nations.

After being seen off by the crown prince and leaving Al Ula, Sheikh Tamim sent telegrams thanking King Salman and the crown prince for their warm welcome and hospitality during the summit.
