What Were King Abdulaziz’s Gifts?

King Abdulaziz Bin Abdulrahman Al Saud was generous in giving gifts, ensuring that everyone he met, including his companions, received something. His gifts typically included the Saudi Thobe, Al-Murowdin (traditional undergarment), Al-Shemagh and Agal (braided or plain), Al-Mishlah (cloak), and perfume. For some individuals, he also gifted wristwatches. One of his annual traditions was to present gifts to all his men and entourage on the eve of Eid. Later, he replaced this with an annual monetary allowance equivalent to or exceeding the value of the traditional attire, a practice that continued until his passing.
