Sailing Into Wellness: How The Red Sea Just Got a Whole Lot Healthier

Under the patronage of H.E. Fahad Abdulrahman AlJalajel, Minister of Health of Saudi Arabia, Red Sea Global (RSG) has officially opened The Red Sea Hospital. Built in partnership with Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Services Group (HMG), the facility marks a turning point for RIYADH, Saudi Arabia's tourism ambitions.

Consequently, this isn't just another building — it's a statement. RSG, the developer behind The Red Sea and AMAALA, is proving that regenerative destinations need more than stunning views; they need real infrastructure.

The hospital delivers emergency care, inpatient and outpatient services, specialized clinics, and digital health tools. Meanwhile, HMG brings clinical expertise that's fully licensed and internationally benchmarked.

As a result, guests, residents, and employees alike gain access to seamless, patient-first care.

Ultimately, the hospital anchors Red Sea Health, a growing network that will soon include six pharmacies and rapid-response emergency services.

Therefore, this expansion directly supports Saudi Vision 2030's push for stronger healthcare access.

With 11 hotels already open and six more coming to Shura Island, The Red Sea keeps growing — now with healthcare built right in.

Surf's Up in the Desert: Bahrain's Lagoon Is Officially Done!

MANAMA, Bahrain: big news! Club Hawaii @ Bahrain Surf Park has finished filling its lagoon, a major construction milestone for this first-of-its-kind surf and leisure destination.

As a result, the 52,000 square metre site finally shows its full scale. Meanwhile, excitement keeps building ahead of the opening this year.

Thanks to Wavegarden Cove technology, the park will generate up to 1,000 waves per hour.

Beyond the lagoon, visitors will explore the Club Hawaii Surf Academy, pools, cabanas, dining venues, and retail offerings.

Meanwhile, event spaces and family-friendly attractions keep the fun going all year.

Sky's the Limit: How a Desert Kingdom Handed Flying Cars a Runway

ARIDGE, formerly XPENG AEROHT and Asia's largest flying car company, just signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Ras Al Khaimah. Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi attended the signing.

Together, they will build an Advanced Air Mobility regulatory sandbox under the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority's oversight.

This deal makes ARIDGE the first Chinese flying car company to enter a national-level sandbox in the Middle East.

Even better, it creates the world's first flying car testing sandbox dedicated to personal low-altitude flight.

Next, ARIDGE will help plan a demonstration route connecting Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah.

RAKTA will lead the sandbox, so ARIDGE will test flights in desert conditions. Meanwhile, the route will cover airspace coordination, passenger handling, and safety management.

Additionally, ARIDGE recently dazzled guests at Emirates Palace with a live formation flight of its modular Land Aircraft Carrier.

Safety comes first. Pilots can override autonomous functions, and redundant systems respond to rotor failure in milliseconds.

Ultimately, ARIDGE wants to lay a safe foundation for commercial air mobility in the UAE. Sheikh Saud believes technology matters most when it improves people's lives.

Afterward, ARIDGE will carry its experience into Europe and Southeast Asia.
