By: Haya Alhusayni Riyadh, February 06, 2022, SPA -- Sometimes you need a ride to get to a critical meeting on time, but the transportation app fails you. In these situations you do not have to be concerned, as Saudis will aid you. The people of Saudi Arabia are noted for their genuine kindness, which can be seen in their interactions with a variety of people, both Saudis and non-Saudis, residents and visitors. One of the most recent situations that demonstrate the Saudi graciousness took place between Saudi citizen Mouhammad Alghazzawi, member staff at a hotel in Jeddah, and a foreign guest was staying in the hotel. The start of the incident is when Alghazzawi requested a car for the guest via passenger transport application, but the foreign was late for his meeting. To save the day, Alghazzawi took by his car the guest to his destination, and this was the reason behind the guest's return to the same hotel. In a widespread video, the guest said: "This is number one service, going beyond expectation and number three this is Saudi hospitality. Welcome to Saudi Arabia and welcome to Jeddah." Commenting on this incident, Saudi Minister of Tourism Ahmed Alkhateeb on Twitter thanked Alghazzawi for his act and said: "This is what we are and this will make us one of the important tourist destinations that the entire world comes to." A similar situation happened earlier in 2021 between a Saudi tour guide, Afaf Alblewi, and a foreign tourist who cried in joy following an act of kindness emanating from Saudi generosity and hospitality. This situation took place in AIUla, where the guide met the tourist who told the guide that she liked her Abaya. The Saudi guide did not hesitate and in a short period of time brought a similar Abaya for the tourist. In a video capturing the moment when Alblewi offered the Abaya, the tourist started to cry tears of joy for this initiative of generosity and humanity. At a personal level, different situations highlight the reality of Saudi culture, which is distinguished by hospitality, generosity and kindness to strangers, friends and family. And at State level, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's generosity is vital in saving millions of lives around the world, as it ranked third globally among the biggest donor countries of humanitarian assistance in 2021 and topped the biggest donors for Yemen according to the UN Financial Tracking Service (FTS). --SPA 15:48 LOCAL TIME 12:48 GMT 0007 www.spa.gov.sa/w1688116
