HRSD Ministry launches Ajeer for Tourism Seasons service
According to a statement from the ministry today, the service is designed to meet the needs of tourism sector establishments—particularly those operating in accommodation, travel, and tourism activities – which are overseen and licensed by the Ministry of Tourism—during peak seasons. It allows these establishments to benefit from seasonal labor services across the Kingdom, in accordance with defined rules and regulations that ensure a smooth and flexible seasonal contracting process.
The new service allows businesses to post job vacancies through the 'Ajeer' platform, and enables jobseekers to browse and apply for available opportunities online. It also facilitates the issuance of verified seasonal work permits that enhance the reliability of the contractual relationship between both parties.
The ministry affirmed that this service is part of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing labor market flexibility, improving the efficiency and readiness of the national workforce, reducing reliance on non-national labor, and empowering citizens.

Where We Are Going Today: Kuuru in Riyadh
Kuuru, an ambitious Saudi concept from Leylaty Group and Peru's MCK Hospitality, delivers on its promise of a vibrant fusion of Peruvian passion and Japanese precision. The experience begins upon entry. The interior is undeniably sophisticated, radiating a chic, fine-dining ambiance perfect for a special culinary journey. Visiting the Riyadh branch located in the King Abdullah Financial District, the service was impeccable, significantly elevating the evening. Our server was a knowledgeable guide, tailoring recommendations and orchestrating a seamless flow of dishes. The culinary adventure started strong. The Kuuru ceviche was a standout, incredibly fresh and complex. Be advised: Its vibrant acidity is boldly and intensely sour, a hallmark purists adore but some palates might find assertive. The hotate aburi offered rich, creamy scallop perfection. The tiradito hotate, featuring luxurious Hokkaido scallops and truffle, delivered exquisite flavor, though a touch more textural contrast (perhaps a crisp element) would have elevated its otherwise soft composition. The Nikkei-style nigiri maintained excellence. The nakka truffle (salmon belly) was beautifully balanced and simple, while the wagyu a lo pobre with the quail egg added to the umami experience. The niku karashi main course featured a succulent grilled ribeye, perfectly complemented by Nikkei chimichurri and Japanese sweet mustard atop smooth potato puree. Dessert provided a satisfying finale. The Lima chocoreto combined moist chocolate cake with Peruvian manjar (dulce de leche), ganache, and honeycomb — rich yet not cloying. The signature Aka sour cocktail proved a vibrant companion throughout but may have been overpowering on the palate, especially with the already sour element to the dishes I ordered. My verdict is that Kuuru offers a compelling, multisensory Nikkei experience within Riyadh's upscale dining scene. While the ceviche's sourness is authentic and the tiradito hotate could benefit from added texture, these are minor notes in an otherwise superb symphony. Backed by stellar service, a distinctive menu, and an elegant setting, Kuuru is a must-visit destination for adventurous food lovers seeking memorable fusion.
