In a bold stride towards transforming Saudi Arabia's tourism landscape, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud unveils the $7.7 billion master plan for the luxurious mountain resort, Soudah Peaks. Nestled in the heart of the Aseer region, this ambitious project promises to harness the exceptional natural and cultural riches of southwest Saudi Arabia.
Perched at a breathtaking altitude of 3,015 meters atop the highest peak in Saudi Arabia, Soudah Peaks is poised to redefine luxury mountain tourism. This endeavor marks a significant leap towards realizing Aseer's development goals, poised to enrich the region's economy through boosted tourism, enhanced hospitality, and expanded entertainment offerings.
With a total of six development zones—Tahlal, Sahab, Sabrah, Jareen, Rijal, and Red RoRock—thesort is set to cater to a diverse array of tastes and preferences. The project boasts an impressive inventory, including 2,700 hospitality keys and 1,336 residential units, offering a spectrum of accommodation options from luxury hotels to chalets and villas, each meticulously designed to harmonize with the natural environment.
Crown Prince MBS, known for his audacious vision, doesn't stop there. Introducing 'Mukaab, the sorting 400-meter hollow cubed skyscraper poised to house the equivalent of 20 Empire State buildings, this latest venture is yet another testament to the Crown Prince's ambition to propel Saudi Arabia into the future.
Crucially, the Soudah Peaks experience extends beyond opulent accommodations. Spread over 80,000 square meters of commercial space, visitors can indulge in a diverse range of activities, including sports, adventure, wellness, and cultural pursuits. This immersive approach ensures that guests can engage with the local culture, customs, and traditions, forging an authentic connection with the region.
Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a figure synonymous with opulence, stands as a testament to the lavish lifestyle that can be achieved in Saudi Arabia. With a net worth surpassing even that of King Charles, his collection of assets, including a Boeing 747 and a $325 million megayacht, exemplifies the heights of luxury attainable in the Kingdom.
Remarkably, Soudah Peaks covers a sprawling 627 square kilometers, with a mere 1% of the area currently developed. The project aligns closely with MBS's commitment to sustainability, adhering to stringent criteria set forth in the Saudi Green Initiative.
Soudah Peaks is more than a resort; it is a testament to Saudi Arabia's potential as a global tourism hub. With its marriage of natural splendor, cultural immersion, and world-class amenities, this project is poised to elevate the Kingdom's status on the international tourism map. As visitors embark on their adventures above the clouds, enveloped in lush greenery, they will experience the warmth of its local hospitality in addition to admiring the beauty of Soudah Peaks.
