The Red Sea Project (Arabic: مشروع البحر الأحمر), simply referred to as the Red Sea (Arabic: البحر الأحمر), is a regenerative tourism megaproject on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia. The project, which is developed by Public Investment Fund-owned Red Sea Global, forms part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program. The project was announced by the Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman in July 2017.
On completion in 2030, the Red Sea aims to have 50 hotels with 8,000 rooms, and more than 1,000 residential properties across 22 islands and 6 inland sites.
