Women staying at ultra-luxury resorts within Saudia Arabia’s yet-to-launch giga-project, Red Sea Destination, will be permitted to wear bikinis, as the Kingdom modernises rulings to lure international visitors.

Red Sea Development Company and AMAALA, the developer behind Saudi Arabia’s ambitious regenerative tourism projects, have morphed to become Red Sea Global.

The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) has formalised a further three new luxury hotel management agreements with international brands to operate resorts in the first phase of development at The Red Sea Project.

Nine of the world’s most luxurious hotel and resort brands have been revealed in the first phase of The Red Sea Project in Saudi Arabia, expected to open in 2023. Properties will range in size from 76 to 430 rooms and suites.
