Amaala is a land and property megaproject currently[when?] in development in Saudi Arabia that is managed by Red Sea Global[1] and forms part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program.[2] Its name is derived from the Arabic word for "hope", and focuses on luxury tourism to attract visitors to the Red Sea coast. The project consists of three main developments: The Coastal Development, Amaala Island, and Triple Bay.[3]

The project is under the patronage of Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Public Investment Fund (PIF) Development Management Organisation was established with Nicholas Naples, CEO.[4] Amaala, along with the other Red Sea projects, is expected to provide jobs to 35,000 individuals.[5] and planned to span over 3,800 km2.[6]

On 25 October 2022, it was announced that AMAALA and The Red Sea Development Co. (TRSDC) has been merged to form Red Sea Global (RSG).[7]

Phases

The first phase of the project is planned to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2020. The project is to be wholly accomplished by 2028.[6]
