Khaberni - The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance in Saudi Arabia delivered to the Egyptian authorities a gift from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques consisting of luxurious dates, within the framework of the Kingdom's efforts to support Muslims around the world.
The gift delivery ceremony took place at the Saudi embassy in Cairo, attended by the deputy ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to Egypt, Khaled bin Hamad Al-Shammari, and the director of public relations at the "Tahya Misr" fund, Major General Hussam Wasel, and the envoy from the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Mohammed Al-Duwish, where 10 tons of dates were allocated.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' program for distributing luxurious dates is part of the specialty programs implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance in 120 countries around the world during the blessed month of Ramadan, aiming to enhance the bonds of brotherhood and provide support to Muslims worldwide, according to the directives of the wise leadership.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' date distribution program is one of the most prominent annual Saudi humanitarian initiatives, broadly implemented since the reign of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, and continued and expanded during the reign of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
In Ramadan 2025, the Kingdom distributed more than 50,000 tons of luxurious dates in the Islamic world, including Egypt which receives a large annual share due to the close brotherly relations and the large Egyptian community in Saudi Arabia.
The Ministry of Islamic Affairs directly oversees the program and cooperates with Saudi embassies and local entities such as the "Tahya Misr" fund in Egypt to distribute the dates to mosques, orphanages, hospitals, and needy families, ensuring high quality and appropriate packaging.
