Perspective
Announced in 2018 as part of Saudi Arabia's Saudi Vision 2030 projects, Amaala was developed by Red Sea Global, the same company that built The Red Sea Project. Compared to the latter, it was envisioned to focus more on wellness and health tourism. Upon completion, the project was planned to feature 25 hotels with 3,000 rooms as well as 200 retail establishments, fine dining, wellness, and recreational facilities. Amaala will run entirely on renewable energy resources.[7]
