More than 10,700 pilgrims will come from Tunisia to perform Haj this year, according to the Kingdom’s Tunisian Consulate General Fathi Al-Nafati.
He told Arab News in a statement yesterday that the first batch of Tunisian pilgrims would arrive at Prince Muhammad bin Abdul Aziz International Airport in Madinah on October 6, while the second batch would arrive at King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah on October 13. “Batches of pilgrims will follow after that,” he added.
The consul strongly commended the great efforts being made by the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Saudi people to provide consummate services to the guests of God from various parts of the world, describing these services as distinct and outstanding.
“Every year we see new development projects being undertaken by the Saudi government in favor of pilgrims, including expansions of the Two Holy Mosques and development of the Holy Sites,” he said.

RIYADH: The National Center for Wildlife released 140 wild animals into the King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve as part of ongoing programs to reintroduce endangered species. The initiatives aim to enhance ecological balance and restore biodiversity in natural habitats.
The release, carried out in cooperation with the King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority, included 30 Arabian oryx, 70 reem gazelles (sand gazelles), and 40 houbara bustards, the SPA reported on Thursday.
The initiative forms part of efforts to reintroduce species to their natural habitats and establish stable, self-sustaining wildlife populations capable of breeding, contributing to improved ecosystem functioning and sustainability.
The NCW continues to implement its strategic plans for wildlife development, with the total number of animals reintroduced through its specialized programs now exceeding 10,000.
This milestone reflects significant progress in the management and governance of wildlife across the Kingdom, supporting the goals of the Saudi Green Initiative and aligning with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
