I'm agree with man , it is possible that one of the saudi wikipedia start
discussion with an organisation from kingdom of saudi with misk because
they know well what wikipedia do and give.
I'm sure is the best option because they able to contact the true organisme
that have the archive with the best quality requested to be inside commons.
even i imagine that a GLAM project will be ideal for that.

Dear Pierre-Yves and all,
I hope you all are doing great !
I know that the Saudi government invests in covering the Hajj with
professional photographers (around 30). It would be great if we could ask
them to donate those pictures. We could start this conversation through the
Saudi contributors, or if you want I could ping someone who could help to
initiate this conversation with their Royal Court - Diwan. Or may be
through Misk Foundation ?
This would let us optimise work and spend the potential budget in a more
relevant work/initiative.
Best regards
Emna

Hi,
First of all, my apology for my email in english.
It would be great to send an experienced photographer to cover the Hajj
2018 (or 2019).
There is a lot of pictures of the Hajj on Wikimedia Commons [1] but
almost
nothing of quality.
I would be happy to work on this project. I can elaborate the budget,
find
some funds for the project (I think that some
European chapters would be
happy to fund that), obtain a media accreditation, etc.. The number of
accreditations is very limited and Saudi Arabia probably censored a lot
of
articles of Wikipedia, but let's try! Some
wikimedians send Wikipedia on
the Moon [2], we could try to send someone to Mecca ;)
