Red Sea Global is currently working on beach development and beautification, as well as the creation of new mangrove habitats.
Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer of Saudi Arabia’s megatourism attractions The Red Sea and Amaala, has provided a six-year construction update for its destination.
The first phase, announced by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman six years ago as part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, is now complete, including the first three hotels and phase one of the international airport, which is scheduled to open later this year.

According to the most recent development update from Red Sea Global, “remarkable progress” has been made, including the addition of 13 new hotels and related infrastructure.
“Our Red Sea International Airport will open this summer, with the capacity to handle domestic arrivals as well as international flights by 2024.” “A full-scale, boutique airport built to handle all sizes of aircraft, from private jets to the Airbus A380, it will also be the region’s only airport with a dedicated runway for seaplanes,” Red Sea Global Group Chief Executive Officer John Pagano said in an exclusive interview in June.
“We are on track to welcome our first guests this year to our first resorts at The Red Sea: Six Senses Southern Dunes, St. Regis, and Nujuma Ritz-Carlton Reserve, which will offer a total of 248 keys,” he added.
Desert Rock, one of the properties being built into the rockface, is nearly complete. A thorough excavation was carried out, with eleven rooms and 195 meters of tunneling built into the rock.
Furthermore, structural and infrastructure work has been completed, including the construction of wadi villas, guest hubs, and back of house.
“We’re on the verge of an extraordinary moment as we prepare to reveal The Red Sea destination to the rest of the world.” “We have made exceptional progress in six years, creating exquisite resorts and best-in-class, sustainable infrastructure in a remote location, demonstrating innovation in line with our regenerative approach and commitment to responsible development,” Pagano said in a six-year progress report.
11 hotels and infrastructure projects are under construction on Shura Island, with more than 100 construction contracts in place.
