A series of infrastructure works will be carried out in Saudi Arabia. A package of works worth US$2 billion is being handled by Red Sea Development. A significant portion of the contracts for the construction of the project have already been awarded to local firms.

Work on the Red Sea tourism project commenced in early 2019. The plans call for the construction of a new road network.

Meanwhile a firm in the UAE, DuBox Precast Products Industrial, is establishing a site that will supply the precast components required for the new transport links.

According to the firm, the Red Sea Project is an ambitious tourism development, offering a site that includes an archipelago of more than 90 islands, sweeping desert, mountain landscapes and 200km of coastline. The new transport infrastructure required includes the construction of a new airport.
