Saudi Arabia’s sleepy city offers prince a cautionary tale:
"With its pristine beaches, manicured lawns and rows of newly built villas, the King Abdullah Economic City bears all the hallmarks of the modern Saudi Arabia envisaged by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Women walk freely without the long, cloak-like abayas. A golf course nestles up against the Red Sea coastline and international companies including Pfizer and Mars have opened factories in the city. Yet the development instead serves as a cautionary tale of the challenges the young heir apparent faces as he pursues a highly ambitious programme to overhaul the conservative kingdom, including his own plans for a new $500bn megacity, Neom."
