In three incidents Iranian pilgrims of Mecca in Saudi Arabia was fingerprinted at Jeddah International Airport in Saudi Arabia. A total of 250 Iranian pilgrims were fingerprinted in two weeks ago and Iranian officials get insulted by new fingerprint plan, just for Iranians.
Let’s see what’s in Saudi Arabia that Muslims from all over the world visiting there. Well based on Muslim teachings the most sacred place in Islam is the Ka'ba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Ka'ba is a mosque (built by Abraham according to Muslim tradition) built around a black stone. The Prophet Muhammad designated Mecca as the holy city of Islam and the direction (kiblah) in which all Muslims should offer their prayers. Each year, thousands of Muslims from around the world join in a pilgrimage to Mecca (the hajj), in fulfillment of one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

So it’s very important for Muslims to visit Ka'ba mosque along with other Muslims at least one time in a lifetime!
In Shiite practices there are many other holy mosques particularly in Iran and Iraq but they are not come close to Ka'ba. Irony is in Sunni teachings specially in Wahhabism division, any other pilgrim sites/mosques considers idolatry! And it’s one of the unforgivable sins. Let me refresh your memory, Wahhabism supported by Saudi Arabia recently made announcement that they are gonna destroy any pilgrim sites/mosques in Iraq. The question is what does make a difference between Ka'ba and any other pilgrim sites/mosques? Obviously, they say in other sites, ordinary human buried dead body/bodies and you idolize it but Ka'ba is made by Abraham and designated by Muhammad as a direction in which all Muslims should offer their prayers!
From religious point of view, Saudi Arabia prefer Mecca and Ka'ba always stay as a center point of Muslims so they don’t like the idea of any other pilgrim sites to be recognized as a pilgrim site for Muslims.
From economics point of view, all of them are places to make money and collect money from pilgrims so Saudi Arabia doesn’t want any competitor holy-making-money-pilgrim-sites to grab some of their holy-money.
But this fingerprinting issue is a new and it’s just about the current conflicts between Saudi Arabia and Iran on Iraq and Lebanon.
At the end, I would say to Saudi Arabia Don’t fingerprint Iranians just don’t issue any visa for them because we don’t want our fellow Iranians spend money on your holy-making-money-pilgrim-sites! I will be very thankful.
Personally I don’t want my fellow Iranians to spend money and time on any holy thing! inside or outside of Iran because they are getting waste. So I hope you stop it here and now.
