The Saudi Embassy in Egypt organized Catwalk 2024 in Cairo to commemorate the International Day of the Arabian Leopard, observed annually on February 10.

Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Egypt Osama bin Ahmed Nugali and the Permanent Representative of Saudi Arabia to the Arab League, Ambassador Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Matar, attended the event along with officials from the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports and members of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s mission to Egypt.
