World Refugee Year Palestine Map - 8 piastre

This stamp commemorates the international World Refugee Year (1960), explicitly highlighting Saudi Arabia's solidarity with Palestinian refugees. The powerful composition features a map of historic Palestine on the left, which gives way to a symbolic scene where a dark cloud breaks to pour rain onto a desert landscape, transforming traditional nomadic refugee tents into a thriving orchard of cultivated trees. Anchored by a decorative border of the national palm-and-swords motif and an emblem of a deeply rooted tree, the illustration conveys a poignant message of hope, relief, and national commitment to regional humanitarian causes. The imagery frames the Saudi state's institutional support not just as charity, but as a vital effort to bring growth, stability, and restoration to displaced people within the broader Arab family.
