Mentioning Saudi Arabia’s giant projects highlights the Red Sea Development Project. The project is located between the cities of Umluj and Al-Wajh on the coast of the Red Sea. The project was launched on an area estimated at approximately 30,000 square kilometers, consisting of an archipelago of primitive islands, an expansive desert filled with mountain domes, historical treasures, and a dormant volcano. The Red Sea project will become the first of its kind in the Middle East in terms of its integration between a recreational and multi-use resort, and it is expected to attract visitors throughout the year. The project was designed with a focus on aspects of heritage, culture and environmental preservation, and is expected to provide 8,000 hotel rooms once its implementation is completed. The project seeks unlimited ambition. The party developing and implementing the project aspires to be the most successful sustainable tourist resort in the world by following a “zero pollution” policy and preventing the use of single-use plastic.
