Riyadh Governor Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz initiated the construction of a new leisure resort set to cost over $650 million. The resort will also receive about $26 million from the government, which also provided the land, over a five year period on infrastructure. The new resort, located 30 miles northeast of Saudi Arabia’s capital, will feature a safari park, a car racecourse, an aviation club, a nature museum and a theme park when completed.
Wymin days are Tuesday and Thursday, if they can arrange to get there. Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday are reserved for myn. Friday is family day.
Prince Sultan bin Salman secretary general of the Supreme Tourism Commission said the suicide bombings last year did not affect tourism since it does not depend on foreign tourists. He also said that domestic tourism would rise within the next two decades within Saudi Arabia.
HMMmmm. Thought they were going to grow the foreign tourist trade. |
