We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The plan outlines 59 centers, covering more than 100 square kilometers (39 square miles). Locations for the centers include 12 in Riyadh, 12 in Mecca, 17 in the Eastern Region, and 18 elsewhere in Saudi Arabia. Slated for completion by 2030, these facilities will streamline local industries’ export processes and bolster e-commerce through quick connections between logistics and distribution centers nationwide.
This initiative comes as part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, an ambitious program aimed at reducing the country’s dependence on oil by promoting sectors like tourism, entertainment, and logistics.
