Answer
Hi, Ashraf.  Presuming the fuel management system on this vehicle is similar to the U.S. model, the condition you describe is normal.  The engine control module (ECM) purposely keeps the RPM above idle when the vehicle is moving.  When stopped, it should return to normal idle speed, which is typically around 750 RPM.
