Infrastructure
Buoyed by significant long-term revenues from its exports of oil and natural gas, Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in all aspects of the kingdom's infrastructure - from roads, railways, airports and ports to communication, electricity distribution and water-supply networks, hospitals, universities and schools.
Today the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) offers investors the
high-capacity, high-quality infrastructure needed to help
businesses grow.
Saudi Arabia's 55,000 km of paved roads link all parts of the
kingdom, ensuring the efficient movement of natural resources, raw
materials, products and people.
KSA continues to invest in existing and new railways, including the Haramain high-speed line, heavy-freight lines linking mines with industrial areas and ports, and metro systems in Mecca, Riyadh and Jeddah.
New airports are being built, for example at Prince Abdulaziz Bin Mousaed Economic City (PABMEC) and Jazan Economic City (JEC), and other airports are being expanded and improved.
Ports are also being built or upgraded, for example the newly opened port of Ras Al-Zour and the vast new port under construction at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC).
Saudi Arabia's utilities produce more desalinated water than anywhere else in the world, plus plentiful, reliable electricity from the kingdom's vast oil and gas reserves. KSA is the world's fourth-largest producer of energy - even before its new solar energy cluster starts supplying the grid.
