Saudi Arabia’s hotel investment market is undergoing a major shift. In this episode, Bilal Ambikapathy explains how recent regulatory changes have simplified foreign investments — especially in key cities like Riyadh and Jeddah — and clarified foreign ownership rules in Mecca and Medina through fund structures.

He highlights the surge in domestic and regional investments, the rise of tier-two city opportunities like Asir province, and the outlook for Saudi Arabia as a dominant regional hub. With increasing transparency, strong regulatory frameworks, and impressive market performance (especially in Medina), Saudi Arabia is fast becoming a magnet for global hospitality investors.
