Saudi Arabia is stepping on the gas. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (38) wants to save the country from dependence on oil and gas with “Vision 2030”. Goal: To surpass Dubai and become the leading destination in the Arab region in the future. In the future, Mr. and Mrs. Swiss should go to Jeddah by the sea or Riyadh in the desert instead of Burj Khalifa.
The best-known project is Neom, a massive metropolitan area with a technology park being built in the desert of the country’s northwest.
