The blue one on the left, showing the Ka'bah, Maqaam Ibrahim and Hateem, is mid 1980's, and the two green ones with Masjid al-Nabawi are early 1970's, and the one on the right commemorates the then expansion of the masjid.
These are all mid 1980's, the top one commemorates the then new direct fast road between Makkah and Madinah.
The next two are Hajj season stamps, with the middle one (slightly damaged) commemorating the days of Tashreeq (11th, 12, 13th of Dhul Hijjah, spent in Mina) of Hajj, and the last wide one commemorates the tawaaf al widaa3 (the farewell tawaaf) of Hajj.
The above are are all Saudi stamps.

The stamps are really neat. jakazallah khair for sharing I especially loved the iranian stamps but the ones from the hajj are really interesting to. So much detail in such little stamps!

The red one above commemorates the granting of university status to Imam Muhammad ibn Saud islamic University, Riyaad, in 1974.
The green one is from 1966, and shows an oil refinery. A clearer picture from the net is here:

The USA began issuing Eid Stamps every year begining in 2001.
This was the 2001 issue
The design remained basically the same until 2009 the main difference being the change in the price as postal rated increased. The 2009 stamp was also used in 2010. In 2011 it began being issued as a "Forever" stamp. No cost printed on it and the stamp can be used for the current postage rate no matter what year it was bought in.
