More about the visit…
Visitors to the destination were given a tour of the stunning area, including a stop at the St. Regis Red Sea Resort, an overnight stay at Six Senses Southern Dunes, the first hotel to open at The Red Sea destination, and a tour of the experiences on offer for guests including watersports, diving and in-land adventure.
The first seaplane company in the Kingdom, Fly Red Sea, was also launched during the visit. The planes will be transporting guests across the gorgeous crystal-clear waters to The Red Sea’s island resorts, including St. Regis Red Sea Resort and Nujuma, A Ritz Carlton Reserve.
Flights to the Red Sea International Airport are also happening weekly. The maiden flight, SV1571, landed on the newly inaugurated runway on Thursday September 21, which marked the start of a new twice-weekly service from Riyadh to RSI. The flights return to Riyadh later the same day.
On the occasion, John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global said “We always set out to lead the way, by doing things differently, and doing them in the right way for people and the planet. Today, as the first of the original giga-projects to welcome guests, we are once again leading from the front.”
