The Rig spans an area of more than 150,000 square meters. The project is part of PIF’s strategy to further strengthen Saudi Arabia’s international entertainment and tourism offering.
The Rig provide a multitude of hospitality offerings, adventures, and aquatic sporting experiences.
It seeks environmental protection in the project’s area, in line with global best practices and in support of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to preserve the environment.
The Rig is a project in the tourism and entertainment sector, one of PIF’s key strategic sectors, and is expected to be a significant value-add to the local economy. Additionally, to ensure the sustainable preservation of the environment in the project’s vicinity, the project will follow leading global standards and best practices, further supporting the Kingdom’s broader efforts on environmental protection.
This project is a unique tourism attraction, expected to attract tourists from around the world, while being especially popular with citizens and residents of the GCC countries in the region.
