Saudi Arabia and Saudi Airlines

I suspect as long as MBS is around and in charge we'll see Saudi continue to transition to try and be a leading tourist location.

Even 20 years ago, there was plenty of booze and regularly dressed people in walled and gated diplomatic compounds, (with their pools).# I don't think its hard to foresee in the current development push for the establishment of gated tourist 'enclaves' with booze and regular dress for all. Regular restrictions outside that.

# When I went there on business, we met a few times with the head of the Saudi mines dept. A minor dept in Saudi, but pretty big and well funded with a very urbane head. An expat told me that he knew his way around a western wine list better than most. :)
