New facilities and resorts at two Red Sea projects, Neom and Al Ula, will likely transform tourism in the region, according to NasJet Private Aviation v-p of commercial sales and marketing Yosef Hafiz.

“I believe that a good deal of the tourism that the Maldives used to get will start shifting towards Saudi Arabia,” Hafiz told AIN. “We’re seeing a lot of press articles written about ultra-luxury resorts being set up, not only at the Red Sea Project and Amaala but in Neom, too. Neom’s Sindalah Island is expected to open for business in 2024 as an ultra-luxury resort for high-net-worth individuals. The first phase of the Red Sea Project is expected to open by the end of 2024 with 16 resorts, I understand.”
