Pilgrims performing Sa’ai in Safa-Marwa
Card was mailed in Malaysia (NOT Saudi Arabia!) in the late 1980s. Malaysian stamp is there but a bit of one corner of the stamp is gone, and postmark is only partly legible. Front of card has a reversed postmark; back of card is normally aged. Grade: 3

Dhahran, international airport
If we could put a price on “well travelled” (pun intended), this card would go for lots more. Produced in Saudi, brought to Malaysia and mailed there in 1986 (stamp and partial postmark), then brought to Hong Kong, and if you buy it…who knows where next? Some postmark smudging on front, and a significant abrasion on bottom front, but a *must* for collectors of airport themes. Grade: 4
-
Mecca, Mosque gate
Probably because this is such a flimsy card, it has creased significantly between the time it was mailed in 1975, and now. However it does have four intact stamps (two are large) and partly legible postmarks. Grade: 4
