The Saudi General Directorate of Passports issued a special stamp in commemoration of the launch of the Saudi astronauts’ mission to the International Space Station, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Monday.

The stamp, "Saudi Arabia Toward Space", was issued in cooperation with the Saudi Space Commission.

It will be made available to travelers at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport, Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, and Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport.

The Saudi Space Commission launched the "Saudi Arabia Toward Space" campaign to boost the Kingdom's global position in the field of space, its contribution to international space activities, and promote its efforts to achieve the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

The Madinah Book Fair integrated modern technologies to facilitate visitors' searches for books, participating publishers, or exhibition areas hosting various activities, the Saudi Press agency said on Thursday.
Through interactive maps, similar to GPS navigation maps, that are installed throughout the fairgrounds, visitors can locate publishers and authors and can also navigate all areas of the fair by scanning Quick Response (QR) codes on their mobile devices, including the main stage, workshop areas, children's zone, book signing platforms, restaurants and cafes, restrooms, prayer areas, and others.
The interactive touch-enabled maps spread throughout the exhibition operate with advanced technology, allowing visitors to search for specific publishers and obtain detailed information such as their names, the booth number where they are located, the distance to reach them, and the estimated time required.
