Soren Nikolajsen, managing director of Alawwal bank, said: “As a major corporation, we want to put our resources to good use and do our bit to enhance the well-being of the communities we serve Kingdom-wide. To do that, we wanted to support activities that everyone across the Kingdom could get involved in, and that’s exactly what hiking and climbing offer.”
Prince Bandar bin Khaled F. Al-Saud, chairman of SCHF, said: “We are delighted Alawwal bank has chosen to support our federation. Their support will greatly aid our efforts to bring hiking and climbing to a wider audience. We are blessed with numerous areas of spectacular natural beauty in the Kingdom, and we will do all we can to help people have fun experiencing them through outdoor sports such as hiking and climbing.”

As well as the obvious health benefits, this is arguably one of the best ways to enjoy the Kingdom’s stunning natural landscapes,” added Nikolajsen.
