Riyadh: Imam Turki bin Abdullah Royal Natural Reserve Development Authority embodies one of the most prominent historical models of serving pilgrims through the ages, as it encompasses more than 400 kilometers of the historic Darb Zubaydah (Zubaydah's Trail), a civilizational and humanitarian lifeline for centuries for pilgrims arriving from Iraq and surrounding areas on their way to the holy lands.

According to Saudi Press Agency, Darb Zubaydah stands out as an early model of sustainability and Hajj-related logistics. The route featured an advanced system for its time, including wells, cisterns, and water-supply stations that eased pilgrims' journeys and enhanced safety and services along the route.

These features reflect the historic care devoted by Islamic civilization to serving pilgrims. The presence of this historic stretch within the reserve represents a cultural and civilizational dimension aligned with efforts to preserve heritage and natural sites, highlight the legacy of Hajj, and raise awareness of Darb Zubaydah's historical and humanitarian value as one of the most prominent routes in Islamic history.

The authority continues efforts to safeguard natural and heritage sites within its domain, contributing to the Kingdom's civilizational depth and reflecting the enduring mission of serving pilgrims and preserving the cultural and humanitarian legacy of Hajj across the ages.
