The development is set to host a number of cultural, artistic and sports facilities as well as retail areas. These will span hotels, private villas, galleries, ateliers, an arts academy, a yacht club and luxury boat cruises.
The project is the brainchild of Prince Mohammed, who has unveiled a number of reforms as part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals to boost tourism, create new job opportunities and attract foreign investment.
As the development is a natural extension of the Mediterrean Sea, Amaala will also be dedicated to promote ecological preservation, sustainability and cultural conservation.
