I just visited Alula (amazing place and archaeological sites), Jeddah (very beautiful al Balad and Cornich), Riyadh (beautiful town with museums and palaces). I can't wait to come again and visit the new touristic destinations. You are doing really good in preserving your environment, heritage and traditions while modernizing your Country. The only remark I have if I may is related to taxi drivers (very difficult interaction as the majority of them can speak and read only arabic).
The atmosphere is electric in Riyadh today in the lead up to all the events this weekend! Al Nasser Vs Al Hilal on Friday, Tyson Fury on Saturday! The Magical Kingdom truly is a great place to be 😎
Absolutely Fascinating. Posts of Mohammed AlQahtani are a true translation of what I see here everyday! and I echo Blair below: Saudi truly is a great THE place to be. I am in Riyadh at the moment and for a couple of weeks. Was in Jeddah in March and last week. You are always welcome, whatever the door you knock on. The proud and hospitality of Saudi are unmatched to me till now, and I visited and lived in a few countries. Yes, there are and will be challenges but these challenges are minor compared to opportunities The Kingdom is offering. If Saudi manages to attract the talents they need to support the supervision and implementation of The Vision, and I am sure they will, sky will be the limit!
Dear Mr. Alqahtani, Thank you for sharing the insightful update on the latest developments in the tourism and destination projects within Saudi Arabia, as highlighted by Ahmed Al-Khatib during the #GREATFuturesInitiative Conference. The commitment of the Ministry of Tourism of Saudi Arabia to providing exceptional tourism experiences through significant investments is truly commendable. It is impressive to witness the ambitious initiatives outlined, with a clear vision to position Saudi Arabia as a top choice for travelers worldwide by 2030. The integration of tourism, sports, and culture sectors as a cornerstone of Saudi Vision 2030 reflects a holistic approach towards sustainable development and economic growth. The achievements highlighted, such as the successful hosting of major international sports events and surpassing the milestone of welcoming 100 million tourists well ahead of schedule, underscore the effectiveness of Saudi Arabia's strategic planning and execution. Moreover, the focus on job creation, skill development, and fostering partnerships with countries like the UK demonstrate a commitment to inclusive growth and global collaboration.
This initiative is truly brilliant! Investing in monuments and tourist attractions is essential, but imagine the added value of creating interactive experiences for both tourists and the public. By incorporating games and XR interactions, we can transform these destinations into immersive adventures that leave lasting memories. I'm thrilled by the potential here and eager to contribute. I would be very interested in working together to make this vision a reality! 😊🌍✨
Which location is this? It's amazing. Mohammed AlQahtani, also I remember going to a very nice place near Riyadh (kind of some valley) with my brother many years ago. It had nice restaurants and museums. Most interestingly it had better weather than Riyadh even though we were just 30-40 KM away from Riyadh. This picture reminds me of that place but obviously, there were no mountains.
I wish my ceramic design vases collection that dates back in 2008-2010 could be part of a collaborative project your having. Even just a big unfortunate state that I have,that I've shelved my work's and equipment on hold as well because of lack of ideal working space and timeline.🔥🔥🔥 ℙ𝕣𝕠𝕛𝕖𝕔𝕥
