      Saudi Arabia, a nation deeply rooted in tradition and history, is undergoing a monumental transformation with its ambitious Vision 2030 initiative.
      This vision, spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aims to modernize and diversify the Saudi economy while preserving the country’s rich cultural heritage.
      As Saudi Arabia celebrates its National Day, it is an opportune moment to reflect on the progress made and the path forward in this journey towards a more prosperous and modern Kingdom.
      Vision 2030: A Bold Blueprint for Change:
      Vision 2030, unveiled in April 2016, outlines a comprehensive roadmap to transform Saudi Arabia into a global investment powerhouse and a hub for tourism and entertainment. At its core, the vision seeks to reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil revenues by diversifying the economy into various sectors, such as tourism, entertainment, technology, and renewable energy. The goals set forth in Vision 2030 are ambitious and far-reaching, but they represent a clear commitment to change and modernization.
      Economic Diversification:

      A pivotal aspect of Vision 2030 is economic diversification. The plan aims to enhance non-oil revenue sources, including tourism and entertainment, mining, and technology. Initiatives like NEOM, a futuristic city, and the Red Sea Project, a luxury tourism destination, are prime examples of the Kingdom’s efforts to attract foreign investments and tourists. These projects promise to not only boost the economy but also create job opportunities for Saudi nationals.
      Empowering Women:

      Another significant aspect of Vision 2030 is the empowerment of women. The plan recognizes the untapped potential of Saudi women and aims to increase their participation in the workforce. Over the years, Saudi Arabia has witnessed numerous reforms, such as granting women the right to drive and the opening of more career opportunities for them. These changes are instrumental in achieving gender equality and fostering a more inclusive society.
      Cultural Preservation:

      While striving for modernization, Saudi Arabia is equally committed to preserving its cultural heritage. Initiatives like AlUla and Diriyah Gate aim to showcase the Kingdom’s rich history and cultural significance. The careful balance between tradition and modernity is crucial in maintaining the Kingdom’s unique identity.
      National Day Celebrations:
      The Saudi National Day, celebrated on September 23rd, is a significant occasion to reflect on the progress made under Vision 2030. It is a day of national pride, marked by festivities and events across the country. The celebrations highlight the Kingdom’s unity, cultural heritage, and its determination to forge ahead into a prosperous and modern future.
      Saudi Vision 2030 is not merely an economic plan; it is a transformative vision that seeks to redefine the Kingdom’s role in the global arena. As Saudi Arabia commemorates its National Day, it is a testament to the country’s commitment to modernization while cherishing its roots. The journey towards Vision 2030 is challenging, but it is a journey towards a brighter, more diversified, and inclusive future for Saudi Arabia and its people.

      Think big and go even bigger appears the be the mantra Saudi Arabia is following at the moment.
      The Kingdom’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud unveiled plans for one of the most ambitious architectural projects on record – a 170km-long skyscraper.
      Set to be known as ‘The Line’, the project will be built in the region of Neom, an area of major development in the Kingdom spearheaded by the Saudi royal.
      Described as a “civilizational revolution” by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the infrastructure is set to be 200 metres wide, 500 metres above sea level and over 170km long and will have a mirrored exterior.

      Aiming to eventually accommodate over nine million residents, The Line will “first based on a radical change in urban planning”.
      “The designs revealed today for the city’s vertically layered communities will challenge the traditional flat, horizontal cities and create a model for nature preservation and enhanced human livability,” Saudi’s Crown Prince said.
      “We cannot ignore the livability and environmental crises facing our world’s cities, and NEOM is at the forefront of delivering new and imaginative solutions to address these issues,” he added. “Neom is leading a team of the brightest minds in architecture, engineering and construction to make the idea of building upwards a reality.”
      The mega-city will be emission-free, road-free and car-free, with a new approach to urban design giving residents the ability to move seamlessly in three dimensions – up, down or across. The concept as a whole was described by the Crown Prince as ‘Zero Gravity Urbanism’.
      The entire project of Neom was first announced in 2017 and the first section is set to open in 2025. Located north of Tabuk, Neom covers a total area of 26,500 km2 and is set to be fully sustainable using solar power, will feature a new high-tech city and much more.
