Hail Municipality has announced plans to build a five-star tourism destination in the Al-Nahayed Mountains in Tuwarin, Saudi Arabia.
The project is being developed with the Tourism Development Fund as part of the Ajad investment initiative, which aims to expand tourism infrastructure across the Hail region.
A field study is under way to assess the site and design an integrated tourist and entertainment park. The project will make use of the area’s mountain scenery and is expected to attract both domestic and international visitors.
The initiative supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan to grow tourism and diversify the economy. International arrivals rose 48% in the first quarter of 2025 to 8.6m visitors. The government aims to reach 150m annual visits by 2030.
Tourism spending hit SAR256bn ($68.3bn) in 2024, up 14% on the previous year.
The Al-Nahayed development is one of several large-scale projects driving Saudi Arabia’s tourism growth, alongside NEOM, Qiddiya, Diriyah Gate, the Red Sea Project and Soudah Peaks.
The Tourism Development Fund will provide financing and advisory support, ensuring the project meets international sustainability standards. The resort will focus on eco-tourism and environmental preservation, reflecting a wider shift in Saudi tourism towards nature-based and heritage-led experiences.
