Egis aids Saudi Vision 2030
Egis’ statement noted that it is proud to help shape the Saudi Vision 2030, which includes developing and diversifying the public service sectors from infrastructure to recreation to tourism.
Alaa Abusiam, CEO of Egis in the Middle East, said: “We are currently involved in many projects serving Saudi’s 2030 Vision and this iconic project is no different. Diriyah will serve as the Kingdom’s historic and cultural destination showcasing the country’s 300+ years of history which will no doubt enrich the tourism industry as well as create a destination which all Saudis will pride themselves with.
“We look forward to watching these iconic projects come to life over the next few years and are extremely proud to play our part in this great vision.”
Diriyah Gate is a mixed-use project, with history and heritage assets at its core, enriched by entertainment, shopping, and residential elements. Under the patronage of Saudi Crown Prince, HRH Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, DGDA was established with a mandate to transform the historic district of Ad Diriyah into an iconic and world-class destination within Riyadh, reflecting and celebrating the rich history of the kingdom.
Egis has been operating in Saudi Arabia for almost 30 years and is currently working on more than 25 projects spread across the kingdom including Riyadh Metro, Green Riyadh, AlUla development, Red Sea Museum, Riyadh Airport, and more.
