In recent years, the Saudi league has become one of the most attractive destinations for world-class players, thanks to the high salaries, tax benefits, and competitive level of football. The Saudi league is also gaining more exposure and popularity worldwide, being broadcasted in over 100 countries. The 2023/24 season of the Saudi league kicks off on August 13, featuring 16 teams competing for the title.

Which team are you supporting? 😊 Please say Al Hilal.

As one of the 50 best tourist destinations in the world in 2023, the Red Sea project is named by The Times magazine:

“Creating an entirely new destination from scratch isn't easy, but having a vast swath of spectacular natural—and largely untouched—scenery is a good place to start. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is aiming to attract 100 million annual visitors by 2030 with a mix of newly developed giga-projects and ancient heritage sites, and 2023 will see the arrival of the first phase of The Red Sea Global, a destination that will allow just 1 million visitors per year.

Saudi Arabia's bold move: branding a 10,800-sq.-mi. tranche, including coastal and desert areas, as “The Red Sea,” which aims to run 100% on renewable energy, and aims to make the destination the world’s largest certified Dark Sky Reserve.

Water-based activities along the 125-mile stretch of pristine coastline will include mangrove kayaking, sailing among The Red Sea's 90 islands (only 22 of which will be developed), snorkeling largely unexplored waters, and diving the wreck of a 300-year-old. old wooden ship. On land, visitors can hike through granite hills, mountain bike across volcanic lava fields, and track migratory birds.

Three hotels will open this year. The 76-room inland Six Senses Southern Dunes resort pays homage to ancient Nabataean trade routes, alongside the brand's usual focus on wellness. Spread over the two Ummahat Islands, and separated by the deep-water Blue Hole, the kingdom's first overwater villas will open at the 90-room St. Regis Red Sea Resort and the 82-room Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.

The Red Sea International Airport opens to domestic flights in 2023 and international in 2024.

Saudi #CrownPrince: We are facing a humanitarian disaster that testifies to the failure of the Security Council and the international community to put an end to Israeli violations.

The entire speech of Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the opening of the Arab-Islamic summit in #Riyadh, #SaudiArabia:

Honorable guests,

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
(Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings)

On behalf of His Majesty #KingSalman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, we are pleased to welcome you to your second home and convey his wishes for the success of this summit.

This summit convenes under exceptional and painful circumstances, and in this regard, we express our condemnation and absolute rejection of the brutal war our brothers in #Palestine are subjected to, which has claimed the lives of thousands of unarmed civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, and has destroyed hospitals, places of worship, and infrastructure.

The Kingdom has made strenuous efforts since the beginning of the events to protect civilians in the #Gaza Strip and has continued to consult and coordinate with its brothers and effective countries in the international community to stop the war.

From this standpoint, we renew our demands for an immediate cessation of military operations and the provision of humanitarian corridors for the relief of civilians, and enable international humanitarian organizations to perform their role. We also affirm the call for the release of hostages and detainees and the preservation of innocent lives.

We are facing a humanitarian disaster that bears witness to the failure of the Security Council and the international community to put an end to the blatant Israeli violations of international laws, norms, and humanitarian law, demonstrating the double standards and selectivity in their application, and threatening global security and stability. Therefore, it requires a collective and coordinated effort from all of us to take effective action to address this unfortunate situation, and we call for working together to lift the siege by introducing humanitarian and relief aid and securing medical supplies for the sick and injured in Gaza.

Your Majesties, Excellencies, Highnesses, and Dignitaries,

The #Kingdom firmly rejects the continuation of aggression, occupation, and forced displacement of the residents of Gaza, and holds the occupying authorities responsible for the crimes committed against the Palestinian people and their assets.

We are certain that the only way to achieve security, peace, and stability in the region is to end the occupation, siege, and settlement and to enable the Palestinian people to obtain their legitimate rights and establish their independent state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital; this is what guarantees the sustainability of security and stability in the region and its countries.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
