What is Qiddiya?
Qiddiya is one of Saudi Arabia's six giga-projects being established as part of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the income resources of the country. Located 45 km south-west of the capital city of Riyadh, the project aspires to be an entertainment, sports and arts hub, and hopes to attract 17 million visitors a year by 2030 and is expected to provide 25,000 jobs and contribute up to SR17 billion to the country’s gross domestic product by 2030.
Ahwazis
The Ahwazis are descendants of Arab tribes who had ruled a large tract of land in today’s western Iran. Al-Ahwaz extended north over 600 km along the east bank of the Shatt Al-Arab, and down the entire eastern littoral of the Gulf, as far south as the Strait of Hormuz.
