Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday for his second visit within three months to hold talks with Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel-Aziz, Qatar's official news agency reported.

Monday's visit comes one day after Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for talks with UAE officials.

Observers believe the visits are part of efforts to heal a diplomatic rift between Qatar on one hand and Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain on the other.

In March, the three latter states collectively pulled their ambassadors from Doha claiming that Qatar had violated a 2013 security pact and interfered in their internal affairs.
