Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz arrived in the NEOM economic zone on Wednesday for a period of rest and relaxation, according to state news agency SPA.
In the past, Saudi Arabia’s rulers often selected destinations along the Mediterranean for vacation to escape the summer heat, but this year is the second in a row that King Salman has chosen to spend time within the Kingdom at NEOM. The location of NEOM is along the Red Sea and, given its current status as a planned city with only a few buildings completed, offers unmatched privacy for the recovering King.
