Saudi Arabia has introduced a unique initiative to mark the holy month of Ramadan. Travelers departing from three major airports – Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport, Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, and Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport – will receive a special commemorative stamp in their passports throughout Ramadan.
This collaborative effort between the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Culture goes beyond a simple memento. The stamp serves as a symbolic recognition of the profound significance of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia. It acts as a subtle reminder of the rich tapestry of customs and traditions that come alive during this sacred period, fostering a deeper connection to the country’s cultural heritage.
This initiative dovetails perfectly with the Ministry of Culture’s Ramadan Season 1445 program. This broader program aims to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation for Saudi Arabia’s cultural and historical roots. By incorporating the commemorative stamp, the government weaves together the celebration of Ramadan with a subtle nod to the nation’s unique cultural identity.
