Red Sea Global is now engaged in beach improvement projects, such as the creation of new mangrove ecosystems.

To mark its six-year progress, Red Sea Global (RSG), the company behind the megatourism destinations The Red Sea and Amaala in Saudi Arabia, has issued a construction update for the area.

The first phase of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which was first proposed six years ago by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, is now finished, including the first three hotels and phase one of the international airport, which will open later this year.

Red Sea Global’s contribution to Vision 2030

“Remarkable progress” has been accomplished, according to Red Sea Global’s most recent development update, which also mentions the addition of 13 additional hotels and accompanying infrastructure.

This summer, our Red Sea International Airport will open, and by 2024, it will be able to accommodate both domestic and international aircraft. In an exclusive interview in June, John Pagano, Group Chief Executive Officer, Red Sea Global, described the airport as “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.”

Our initial resorts at The Red Sea, Six Senses Southern Dunes, St. Regis, and Nujuma Ritz-Carlton Reserve, which will provide a total of 248 keys, are expected to open for business this year, he continued.

More than half of the properties are complete, including Desert Rock, which is being built into the rockface. A thorough excavation was conducted, and eleven rooms and 195 meters of tunnels were carved out of the rock.

Wadi villas, guest centers, and back of house construction, as well as other structural and infrastructure tasks, have also been finished.

As we are ready to introduce The Red Sea destination to the rest of the globe, “we are on the cusp of an extraordinary moment.” In the six-year progress report, Pagano noted that “we have made exceptional progress, 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.”

More than 100 building contracts are in place on Shura Island, where 11 hotels and infrastructure projects are being built.
