Saudi Arabia is set to unveil the initial phase of its ambitious NEOM megacity project by the end of this year. Sinadalah Island will serve as the first glimpse into this monumental desert endeavor, aligning with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s vision for 2030. Designed as an "exclusive gateway to the stunning Red Sea," the island aims to cater to luxury clients and the global yachting community. It will feature three luxury hotels, a golf course, a sports club, a beach club, a marina, and numerous upscale shops and restaurants. However, recent reports have highlighted financial constraints affecting Neom's "The Line" project, prompting a reduction in scale by 98.6%. Originally planned to span 170 kilometers and accommodate 1.5 million residents, it will now cover only 2.4 kilometers with fewer than 30,000 residents. Neom officials have been actively seeking investors worldwide, with efforts spanning from the United States to China. In January, Marriott International signed an agreement to introduce Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy to Sindalah, while Saudi music entertainment company MDLBEAST announced its management of the Sindalah Beach Club on the island. #Saudiarabia #Sinadalah #Island #Redsea

Saudi Arabia's PIF is making strides in diversifying the country's economy and advancing its tourism sector. They've just unveiled the Al Balad Development Company, which will play a pivotal role in the revitalisation of Jeddah's historic Al Balad district. What makes this endeavour even more remarkable is the commitment to preserving the area's unique heritage.
