Amazing, but have you ever imagined spending a vacation with your family on an offshore oil platform? Saudi Arabia announced plans to convert an oil field into an “extreme theme park” inspired by oil and a luxury resort. The theme park, called The Rig, will have a variety of adventurous activities, such as roller coaster rides, underwater activities, bungee jumping, and skydiving.

The offshore platform that will turn into an amusement park will be financed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which announced the development of the 1.6 million square meters resort, as can be seen in the video above.

The park will have three hotels and 11 restaurants on various connected platforms. Luxury travelers will be able to arrive by helicopter and a superyacht marina with 50 berths.

The Kingdom’s latest project aims to “provide a multitude of hospitality offerings, adventures, and water sports experiences,” according to a statement from the PIF.

The Offshore Platform Is Set To Open In 2025 And Promises To Attract Tourists From All Over The World

“This project is a unique tourist attraction that is expected to attract tourists from all over the world,” he added.

The theme park is being described as the “world’s first tourism destination inspired by offshore oil platforms” and is part of the Saudi Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to reposition Saudi Arabia as one of the main international tourist destinations and diversify its economy.

The platform is expected to open in 2025. The country is determined to reposition itself as a seductive global hotspot that can compete with neighbors like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Oman. The goal is to attract 100 million tourists per year by the end of the decade.

This Month, Saudi Arabia Opened Its First Official Mixed-Gender Beach.

The largest economy in the Arab world is trying to shed its reputation as an ultraconservative nation with complicated administrative procedures and outdated regulations.

This month, Saudi Arabia opened its first official mixed-gender beach.

Since he became de facto leader in 2017, Prince Mohammed has introduced sweeping economic and social changes, including allowing women to drive, reopening cinemas, and permitting mixed-gender music concerts and other entertainment options.

Music was banned in public places until 2017, a measure imposed by religious policy, and women were only allowed to drive a year later.

But at the same time, the prince launched a sweeping crackdown on dissent and freedom of expression, arresting women activists, clerics, journalists, and members of the royal family.
