The emir issued directive to the Saudi embassy in Rabat to take urgent steps to rescue him and ensure his safe return back home.
Fahd arrived at King Saud Airport in Al-Baha on Tuesday morning from Morocco. Following the arrival of the young man, Prince Hossam directed an integrated task team to provide the necessary special care so as to improve his health to stable condition.
