SMART & SUSTAINABLE
Our aim is to set new standards in sustainable development, respecting the natural world, creating opportunities for the local communities and protecting the destination for the future.
We’re excited to have launched a new domestic and international campaign under the banner: Breaking New Ground. We’ve made huge progress since our masterplan was approved by His Highness King Salman in December 2018.
Now, we have more than 5,000 workers on site, and have awarded 500 contracts collectively worth SAR15 billion ($4bn).
From a remarkable vision to a groundbreaking reality, The Red Sea Project is the world’s most ambitious tourism development at the moment and a pioneer in advancing regenerative tourism. Explore our latest progress updates on the link below.
The Red Sea Project will be an exquisite sanctuary offering indulgent experiences, seamlessly customized to the unique needs of each visitor. The site encompasses an archipelago of more than 90 pristine islands, miles of sweeping desert and dramatic landscapes that include volcanoes, and canyons.
