  • Mecca, view of Arafat

    This Mirza card was mailed in Malaysia, not Saudi Arabia, in 1990 but is certainly older than that. Malaysian stamp and legible postmark. Edges of card are perforated, as the card was part of a connected series. Minor abrasions and a small fold in upper left front. Grade: 3

    Mina, Al-Kheif Mosque
  • 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

    Dhahran, international airport
  • 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

    Mecca, Mosque gate
  • Greetings

    Two of these somewhat austere “greetings” cards from 1975 are available.  They have  index number 1151/75 and have yellowed significantly on the reverses.  One is unused (Grade: 2, $8) while the other was mailed from Jeddah, with four stamps and partly readable postmark as well as noticeable creasing (Grade: 3, $10).
