The Kingdom, that commands a giant’s share of the Arab GDP, holds strong potential for the growth of its tourism and hospitality sector in accordance with Saudi Vision 2030 and we are delighted to be part of it.

Hence, investment in Saudi Arabia is very important for us and will hold strong benefits for our company. We will be opening two hotels this year in Riyadh – one with 100 rooms and one with 90 rooms.
