His company designs bespoke green building projects for various luxury hotel groups including Soneva, Banyan Tree, Playa Viva, Neom and Resplendent Ceylon. Louis also founded Nomadic Escapes, a new outdoor hospitality management company focussed on, biophilic tented experiences; net zero carbon operations, re-wilding and regenerative landscaping.

In this episode, we talk about the future of experiential travel, sustainability by design, how to develop a community-enhancing regenerative approach and how unique structures are key to attracting the attention of the right type of guest for unique hospitality resorts.  We also touch on the wellness travel trend, designing the needs of guests into the core of a unique offer and how social media influences all of this. Finally, we discussed what glamping has that helps it stand out from the bigger hotels and resorts to help it survive the growing competition in the marketplace.

From the war in Yemen to raves in Riyadh, political analyst Sami Hamdi analyses the ‘modern' Saudi Arabia as a regional power. Many see the country to be a staunch ally, even stooge of the United States, yet others hail its recent strategic turn under Muhammad Bin Salman as a sign that at last the country is looking to forge an independent path. From moon sighting to Hajj, the country remains at the centre of Muslim religious life, yet we can't but observe with horror the activities of its crown prince and de facto leader and his vanity infrastructure projects such as NEOM. So how do we analyse the country and its future. Sami Hamdi is the Managing Director of the International Interest, a global risk and intelligence company. He advises governments on the geopolitical dynamics of Europe and the MENA region and has significant expertise in advising companies on commercial issues related to volatile political environments and their implications on market entry, market expansion, and managing of stakeholders. Sami is also featured as a commentator for Aljazeera (Arabic and English), Sky News, BBC, TRT World, and other outlets.

In Episode 82, the 966 hosts fly solo and discuss some of the top developments of late on Saudi Arabia - and there are a lot of them. First, the hosts discuss Richard's One Big Thing, which is the readout of the recent call between the U.S. National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. There were a lot of “Easter eggs” in that call's readout from the U.S. side, especially the focus on new priorities and less on the traditional dynamics of U.S.-Saudi relations. Next, the hosts discuss Lucien's One Big Thing this week, which is the Saudi-Iran thaw. When announced, the detente was surprising, and a timeframe of two months was declared. Lucien provides a timeline of what has happened since , and lays the foundation for a discussion on how Saudi Arabia's foreign policy has shifted in just a few weeks - not just on Iran, but on Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and others. Then the hosts finish up as always with Yallah! A discussion of six top storylines on Saudi Arabia from the previous week to get you up to speed headed into the weekend. 3:47 - Richard's One Big Thing is based on the readout of the recent call between the U.S. National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. There were a lot of “Easter eggs” in that call's readout from the U.S. side, especially the focus on new priorities and less on the traditional dynamics of U.S.-Saudi relations.Here's what the Readout said from the U.S. side:“National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud of Saudi Arabia today.  They discussed a number of global and regional matters, to include ongoing diplomacy related to ending the war in Yemen.  Mr. Sullivan highlighted the remarkable progress in Yemen over the past year, during which fighting has nearly ceased under a UN-mediated truce.  He welcomed Saudi Arabia's extraordinary efforts to pursue a more comprehensive roadmap for ending the war and offered full U.S. support for those efforts, noting that Special Envoy Tim Lenderking will be in the region over the coming days.  Mr. Sullivan and Crown Prince Salman also discussed broader trends toward de-escalation in the region, while underscoring the need to maintain deterrence against threats from Iran and elsewhere.  Mr. Sullivan reaffirmed President Biden's unwavering commitment to ensure Iran can never acquire a nuclear weapon.  Mr. Sullivan and Crown Prince Salman committed to stay in regular contact and to accelerate contact between the Saudi and U.S. national security teams on issues including the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII), clean energy cooperation, and development and investment in cutting-edge Open Radio Access Network (O-Ran) 5G and 6G technologies.”15:42 - Lucien's One Big Thing this week, which is the Saudi-Iran thaw. When announced, the detente was surprising and a timeframe of two months was declared. A timeline of what has happened since lays the foundation for a discussion on how Saudi Arabia's foreign policy has shifted in just a few weeks; not just on Iran, but on Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and others.30:32 - Yallah! 6 top storylines to get you up to speed heading into the weekend. Citigroup Sees Oil Falling Despite OPEC Efforts to Prop Near $80Oil prices are likely to fall below $80 a barrel even with OPEC's recent apparent efforts to support that level with unexpected cuts, according to Ed Morse, global head of commodities research at CitiGroup. Saudi Arabia's National Center for Privatisation (NCP) has announced the launch of 200 development projects across 17 sectors.The initiative will provide local and international investors with an opportunity for advanced preparation to ensure their readiness to participate in the projects tendered to the market. Schemes include four airports, seven desalination plants, six wastewater treatment plants and 10 strategic water reservoirs.  According to HE Mohammed Al-Jadaan, Minister of Finance, these projects will increase the attractiveness of the economy, create opportunities for local and international investor and increase private sector contribution to GDP.Masters 2023: Jon Rahm won big, but so did LIV GolfJon Rahm was the day's biggest winner. But LIV Golf, the breakaway tour that's caused a civil war within golf's ranks, scored a major victory of its own this weekend. Derided as a tour for washed-up former stars and unknowns, a money grab for has-beens and never-was'es, LIV this weekend put three players in the top 6 — Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed — and 12/17 players made the cut. Whatever else LIV may be, on this weekend the breakaway tour came up big. “We're still the same people,” said Koepka, who held the clubhouse lead for three rounds and three holes. “I think that's just manufactured by the media that we can't compete anymore, that we are washed up.”Hajj Minister: Makkah and Madinah now host 1.3 million foreign pilgrims and visitorsMinister of Hajj and Umrah Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah said that Makkah and Madinah are witnessing a record number of foreign pilgrims and visitors and there are currently 1.3 million in the two holy cities. “All the procedures have been improved remarkably and there is a major qualitative shift in the movement of worshipers as well as in the facilities and services being provided to them inside the Two Holy Mosques.” he said while addressing a dialogue session as part of the first edition of the Manafea Forum, which kicked off here on Monday.Middle East debt issuances nearly triple in Q1 2023 as Saudis take leadMiddle East and North Africa (MENA) debt issuances nearly tripled year-on-year from January to March 2023 to $26.9 billion compared to the previous quarter, marking the highest start to a year by proceeds since 2011. This is a major shift since last year's total of $37.3 billion, the lowest full-year amount since 2011, according to American-British financial data company Refinitv. In Q1 of 2023, Saudi Arabia was the leading debt issuer in the MENA region.Saudi Heritage Commission Includes 190 New Antiquities Sites in National RegisterThe Saudi Heritage Commission approved the registration and documentation of 190 new archaeological sites in the national register of Antiquities. There are now 8,788 such locations in the national register across the country, representing a national legacy that reflects the historical richness of the Kingdom. Asir region has the largest number with 35, followed by Al-Jouf with 32, Tabuk with 31, Hail with 23, Al-Qassim with 22, and the Eastern Province with 20. Of the new registrations, 11 are in Jazan, 10 are in the Makkah region, five are in Al-Baha, and one is in Madinah.

The 966 welcomes back onto the program Bilal Saab, political-military analyst on the Middle East and U.S. policy toward the region and Senior Fellow and Director of the Defense and Security Program at the Middle East Institute. The hosts ask Bilal about his recent piece, entitled "After Oil-for-Security: A Blueprint for Resetting U.S.-Saudi Security Relations." Before that discussion, the hosts discuss fibre-optic cables and data centers in Saudi Arabia, how the Kingdom is doing on its efforts to achieve sustainability, and much more.4:32 - Richard's One Big Thing is how Saudi Arabia is ‘redrawing the map of the future with fibre-optic cables', citing a recent piece in the Middle East Eye. Saudi Arabia sees an opportunity with Egypt acting often as a bottleneck. 18:02 - Lucien's One Big Thing is a discussion on how Saudi Arabia's Green Initiative (SGI) is performing against international evaluations on sustainability progress. One new report, published annually by MIT called The Green Future Index, says that Saudi Arabia made a leap forward against its performance last year by jumping 10 places. But, it wasn't all good news for Saudi Arabia - the Kingdom is in the second-to-last category for these rankings. Still, the progress is laudable and can already be seen on the ground in Saudi Arabia. So far, Saudi Arabia has planted 18 million trees within the Kingdom and of those 13 million are mangroves.32:35 - The 966 welcomes back onto the program Bilal Saab,  political-military analyst on the Middle East and U.S. policy toward the region and Senior Fellow and Director of the Defense and Security Program at the Middle East Institute.

In Surprise, OPEC Plus Announces Cut in Oil ProductionSaudi Arabia, Russia and their oil-producing allies announced that they would cut production by more than 1.2 million barrels of crude a day, or more than 1 percent of world supplies, in an apparent effort to increase prices. The production cut was unexpected because leaders of the group, known collectively as OPEC Plus, said in recent days that they did not intend to make changes in their policies. The cuts, which are voluntary and start in May, could be temporary depending on economic conditions.Fitch upgrades Saudi Arabia to 'A+' on strong balance sheet, buffersRatings agency Fitch on Wednesday upgraded Saudi Arabia's credit rating to 'A+' from 'A', citing the Gulf state's robust fiscal and external balance sheets, including a favourable debt-to-GDP ratio and strong sovereign net foreign assets. Oil revenue will account for about 60% of total budget revenue in 2023-2024, according to Fitch, despite a major government push towards developing the non-oil sectors of the economy. "The upgrade also assumes ongoing commitment to gradual progress with fiscal, economic and governance reforms," Fitch said.Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund reveals its VC portfolioThe venture arm of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, Sanabil Investments, has revealed dozens of US and European venture capital and private equity firms in its portfolio, shedding new light on the kingdom's expanding global economic footprint.

The CIA director's quiet trip comes on the heels of a surprising agreement signed between Riyadh and Tehran, brokered by China, to restore diplomatic ties, reopen embassies and exchange ambassadors in the next month.The UN is going forward with an operation to prevent a disastrous oil spill from a rusting tanker in the Red Sea.The United Nations Development Programme has purchased a ship to take 1.1 million barrels of crude oil that has been sitting in a decrepit supertanker, SFO Safer, off the port of Ras Isa in Yemen's west coast. It has contracted SMIT Salvage BV, a Dutch firm specializing in marine salvage, to extract the oil and remove the Safer to safety. The replacement vessel is currently in drydock in China, being fitted for its new purpose as a floating oil storage vessel. It is expected to arrive in the Red Sea next month.

It joins Saudi Arabia, and creates room for a significant air corridor to and from Asia since Israeli carriers still cannot overfly Iranian airspace – previously requiring them to route much further south. On Feb 26, El Al flight 871 from Tel Aviv to Bangkok became the first Israeli aircraft to transit Oman's airspace! The journey, which previously took over 10 hours, lasted just under 8 hours.Hajj Ministry: Pilgrims can perform any number of UmrahThe Ministry of Hajj and Umrah confirmed that pilgrims are not limited to a specific number of times to perform Umrah. The ministry stated that those who arrived in the Kingdom on a visit, tourist, or work visa can perform Umrah. The pilgrim can also change the means of transportation that he had used for his arrival during his departure from the Kingdom.

In Episode 73 this week, The 966 features an exclusive conversation with Jacob Mumm, Senior Vice President for Bechtel and Managing Director for Bechtel Saudi Arabia. Bechtel's role in over 300 major projects throughout 80 years in Saudi Arabia, including the world's largest single industrial development project at Jubail, the ambitious Riyadh Metro project, "The Spine" at Neom, Ras Al Khair, and many more, make it a significant part of the story of modern Saudi Arabia. Bechtel was also recently chosen for a project management role in the building of Trojena, an alpine-themed resort area within Neom. The hosts also ask Jake about the engineering marvel that is the late Zaha Hadid-designed metro station at KAFD, whether the Riyadh metro will help alleviate traffic woes in a growing Riyadh, the increasing number of Saudi women working for Bechtel, and the importance of developing local talent in the Kingdom.

Saudi Arabia is a country that is known for its rich culture and history, as well as its modern developments and economic prosperity. But while the country has made economic and social progress in recent decades, it's also important to recognize that every country has its own set of issues and challenges. I've started launching episodes about my visit to Saudi Arabia, and in the first one that came out on Tuesday, it may have sounded like there's nothing bad about this country. And even though I loved my visit and met some of the friendliest people I've ever met, there are still challenges. In this episode, I will share what I think is both good and bad about this country. THE GOOD ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA Let's dive in and start with some of the things that are good about Saudi Arabia: GOOD: Culture and history Saudi Arabia is home to a number of historical and cultural sites that are of great importance to the country and the region. The city of Mecca is the holiest site in Islam and the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad. It is also home to the Kaaba, a sacred stone building that is the focus of the annual hajj pilgrimage. Medina, another city in Saudi Arabia, is also considered a holy city and is the burial place of the Prophet Muhammad. These cities are of great significance to Muslims around the world and are a source of pride for the country. GOOD: Economy Saudi Arabia is a major player in the global economy, with a GDP of over $800 billion. The country is rich in natural resources, particularly oil, which accounts for a significant portion of its wealth. The government has also invested heavily in modernizing and diversifying the economy, with initiatives aimed at boosting tourism, technology, and other sectors. As a result, Saudi Arabia has a high standard of living and a strong infrastructure. GOOD: Education Education is a priority in Saudi Arabia, with the government investing heavily in the education sector. The country has a number of top-ranked universities, including King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, which are known for their research and innovation. The government also provides free education to all citizens, from primary school through to university. GOOD: Healthcare Saudi Arabia has a well-developed healthcare system, with a number of hospitals and clinics located throughout the country. The government invests heavily in the healthcare sector, providing free medical care to all citizens. The country is also home to a number of renowned medical facilities, such as the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, which is known for its advanced medical technology and expertise. GOOD: Infrastructure Saudi Arabia has a modern infrastructure, with a well-developed transportation system and a number of major cities connected by highways and airports. The country has also invested heavily in its telecommunications infrastructure, with high levels of Internet and mobile phone penetration. These investments have contributed to the country's economic development and have made it easier for people to live, work, and travel within the country. GOOD: Natural beauty Despite its desert climate, Saudi Arabia is home to a number of beautiful natural landscapes. The country has a number of parks and nature reserves, including the Asir National Park, which is home to a number of endangered species. The country's coastlines, including the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf, are also popular destinations for tourists and offer a range of activities such as diving, fishing, and water sports. GOOD: Modern developments In recent years, Saudi Arabia has undergone a number of modern developments, including the construction of new cities, such as King Abdullah Economic City and NEOM, which are designed to be centres of innovation and economic growth. The country has also invested heavily in its tourism sector, with initiatives aimed at promoting the country as a destination for both religious and recreational tourism. THE BAD ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA There are also a number of issues that have been the subject of criticism and concern. Let's have a look at some of the things that might not be good about Saudi Arabia. BAD: Treatment of women One issue that has received significant attention is the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia. The country has a strict system of gender segregation, and women are subject to a number of legal restrictions and limitations on their freedom of movement and expression. For example, women in Saudi Arabia are required to have a male guardian who has the authority to make decisions on their behalf and control their movements.  However, in August 2020, the Saudi Arabian government announced that they would be revoking the laws that required women to have a male guardian's permission to travel, marry, or even leave prison. Additionally, the law that required women to wear an abaya (a loose-fitting black cloak) in public was also repealed. These changes were part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 plan to modernise and liberalize the country. However, these laws have not yet been fully implemented, and some restrictions on women's freedom of movement and other rights continue to exist. BAD: Lack of political freedoms Another issue that has been the subject of criticism is the lack of political freedom in Saudi Arabia. The country is an absolute monarchy, and political parties are not allowed. There is also no independent judiciary, and human rights groups have reported cases of arbitrary detention, torture, and other human rights abuses by the authorities. BAD: Treatment of migrant workers There have also been concerns about the treatment of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. Many migrant workers, particularly those from South and Southeast Asia, work in low-paying, hazardous jobs and are subject to abuse and exploitation by their employers. Migrant workers are also often denied access to basic rights and protections, such as the right to form unions or to seek legal recourse for workplace abuses. BAD: Treatment of minority groups Human rights groups have also raised concerns about the treatment of minority groups in Saudi Arabia, including the Shi'a minority in the Eastern Province and the Bidun, a stateless minority group. These groups have faced discrimination and marginalization and have been denied access to education and employment opportunities. BAD: Lack of freedom of expression Another issue that has been a source of concern is the lack of freedom of expression in Saudi Arabia. The government tightly controls the media and censors the internet, and individuals who express dissenting views or criticize the government can face arrest and imprisonment. BAD: Environmental concerns There have also been concerns about the environmental impact of Saudi Arabia's economic development. The country is a major producer of oil, and the extraction and refining of oil has contributed to environmental degradation, including air and water pollution. Additionally, the country's rapid population growth and urbanization have put a strain on natural resources, such as water, and have contributed to environmental problems such as desertification. BAD: Tense relationship with other countries It is also worth noting that Saudi Arabia has a complex and often tense relationship with other countries in the region. The country has been involved in a number of conflicts and disputes, including the ongoing conflict in Yemen, and has been accused of supporting extremist groups and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. Conclusion Overall, while Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in recent decades, and they have big things happening in their 2030 plan that I talked about in the episode a few days ago. Saudi Arabia is a country with a rich culture and history, a strong economy, and a well-developed infrastructure. It is home to a number of historical and cultural sites, top-ranked universities, and renowned medical facilities. The country is also home to a number of beautiful natural landscapes. But there are still a number of issues that have been the subject of criticism and concern. Treatment of women, lack of political freedoms, treatment of migrant workers and minority groups, and lack of freedom of expression. Its modern developments and initiatives to boost tourism have helped I feel it's important for Saudi Arabia to address the problematic issues and work towards a more just and equitable society if they really want to make it a dynamic and attractive place to live and visit. These are my own opinions, based on my experiences visiting the country and the research I've done. You might disagree – and if you do, please let me know.

Saudi Arabia is a country that is known for its rich culture and history, as well as its modern developments and economic prosperity. But while the country has made economic and social progress in recent decades, it's also important to recognize that every country has its own set of issues and challenges. I've started launching episodes about my visit to Saudi Arabia, and in the first one that came out on Tuesday, it may have sounded like there's nothing bad about this country. And even though I loved my visit and met some of the friendliest people I've ever met, there are still challenges. In this episode, I will share what I think is both good and bad about this country. THE GOOD ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA Let's dive in and start with some of the things that are good about Saudi Arabia: GOOD: Culture and history Saudi Arabia is home to a number of historical and cultural sites that are of great importance to the country and the region. The city of Mecca is the holiest site in Islam and the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad. It is also home to the Kaaba, a sacred stone building that is the focus of the annual hajj pilgrimage. Medina, another city in Saudi Arabia, is also considered a holy city and is the burial place of the Prophet Muhammad. These cities are of great significance to Muslims around the world and are a source of pride for the country. GOOD: Economy Saudi Arabia is a major player in the global economy, with a GDP of over $800 billion. The country is rich in natural resources, particularly oil, which accounts for a significant portion of its wealth. The government has also invested heavily in modernizing and diversifying the economy, with initiatives aimed at boosting tourism, technology, and other sectors. As a result, Saudi Arabia has a high standard of living and a strong infrastructure. GOOD: Education Education is a priority in Saudi Arabia, with the government investing heavily in the education sector. The country has a number of top-ranked universities, including King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, which are known for their research and innovation. The government also provides free education to all citizens, from primary school through to university. GOOD: Health care Saudi Arabia has a well-developed health care system, with a number of hospitals and clinics located throughout the country. The government invests heavily in the health care sector, providing free medical care to all citizens. The country is also home to a number of renowned medical facilities, such as the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, which is known for its advanced medical technology and expertise. GOOD: Infrastructure Saudi Arabia has a modern infrastructure, with a well-developed transportation system and a number of major cities connected by highways and airports. The country has also invested heavily in its telecommunications infrastructure, with high levels of Internet and mobile phone penetration. These investments have contributed to the country's economic development and have made it easier for people to live, work, and travel within the country. GOOD: Natural beauty Despite its desert climate, Saudi Arabia is home to a number of beautiful natural landscapes. The country has a number of parks and nature reserves, including the Asir National Park, which is home to a number of endangered species. The country's coastlines, including the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf, are also popular destinations for tourists and offer a range of activities such as diving, fishing, and water sports. GOOD: Modern developments In recent years, Saudi Arabia has undergone a number of modern developments, including the construction of new cities, such as King Abdullah Economic City and NEOM, which are designed to be the centre of innovation and economic growth. The country has also invested heavily in its tourism sector, with initiatives aimed at promoting the country as a destination for both religious and recreational tourism. THE BAD ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA There are also a number of issues that have been the subject of criticism and concern. Let's have a look at some of the things that might not be good about Saudi Arabia. BAD: Treatment of women One issue that has received significant attention is the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia. The country has a strict system of gender segregation, and women are subject to a number of legal restrictions and limitations on their freedom of movement and expression. For example, women in Saudi Arabia are required to have a male guardian who has the authority to make decisions on their behalf and control their movements.  However, in August 2020, the Saudi Arabian government announced that they would be revoking the laws that required women to have a male guardian's permission to travel, marry, or even leave prison. Additionally, the law that required women to wear an abaya (a loose-fitting black cloak) in public was also repealed. These changes were part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 plan to modernise and liberalize the country. However, these laws have not yet been fully implemented, and some restrictions on women's freedom of movement and other rights continue to exist. BAD: Lack of political freedoms Another issue that has been the subject of criticism is the lack of political freedom in Saudi Arabia. The country is an absolute monarchy, and political parties are not allowed. There is also no independent judiciary, and human rights groups have reported cases of arbitrary detention, torture, and other human rights abuses by the authorities. BAD: Treatment of migrant workers There have also been concerns about the treatment of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. Many migrant workers, particularly those from South and Southeast Asia, work in low-paying, hazardous jobs and are subject to abuse and exploitation by their employers. Migrant workers are also often denied access to basic rights and protections, such as the right to form unions or to seek legal recourse for workplace abuses. BAD: Treatment of minority groups Human rights groups have also raised concerns about the treatment of minority groups in Saudi Arabia, including the Shi'a minority in the Eastern Province and the Bidun, a stateless minority group. These groups have faced discrimination and marginalization and have been denied access to education and employment opportunities. BAD: Lack of freedom of expression Another issue that has been a source of concern is the lack of freedom of expression in Saudi Arabia. The government tightly controls the media and censors the internet, and individuals who express dissenting views or criticize the government can face arrest and imprisonment. BAD: Environmental concerns There have also been concerns about the environmental impact of Saudi Arabia's economic development. The country is a major producer of oil, and the extraction and refining of oil has contributed to environmental degradation, including air and water pollution. Additionally, the country's rapid population growth and urbanization have put a strain on natural resources, such as water, and have contributed to environmental problems such as desertification. BAD: Tense relationship with other countries It is also worth noting that Saudi Arabia has a complex and often tense relationship with other countries in the region. The country has been involved in a number of conflicts and disputes, including the ongoing conflict in Yemen. It has been accused of supporting extremist groups and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. Conclusion Overall, while Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in recent decades, and they have big things happening in their 2030 plan that I talked about in the episode a few days ago. Saudi Arabia is a country with a rich culture and history, a strong economy, and a well-developed infrastructure. It is home to a number of historical and cultural sites, top-ranked universities, and renowned medical facilities. The country is also home to a number of beautiful natural landscapes.

Episode 59! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to our subscribers and listeners who celebrate. The 966 hosts kick off the second annual "Christmas spectacular" with a discussion of green hydrogen and news that Germany may be on of Saudi Arabia's first big customers, and a discussion of Saudi Arabia as a $1 trillion (!) economy. Then the hosts welcome Todd Albert Nims, a key player in the Kingdom's blossoming film and entertainment scene and co-producer of the film 'Born a King.' Then, the hosts finish up with Yallah! 6 top storylines in Saudi Arabia this week to cap off an excellent first year. The 966 thanks all who listen and watch our program - a growing number of you - and are appreciative of the support and all comments we receive.The hosts discuss Richard's one big thing: Saudi Arabia as a $1 Trillion economy, a development which has been years in the making but was pushed forward in part by Russia's war in Ukraine. Saudi Arabia's economy is growing at an impressive clip, and will be the fastest growing economy in the G20 in 2022.Lucien's one big thing is green hydrogen. Saudi Arabia saw traction in two ways this week, first, in a potentially large buyer in Germany, and second, in the agreement to secure financing for the work to produce ammonia for export at Neom. Air Products, along with Neom and ACWA Power, entered into a deal in July 2020 to produce ammonia at Neom for export. The three companies are betting big that Europe would be one of the largest importers of green ammonia. The three industrial heavyweights created the Neom Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), NEOM's NGHC announced yesterday that it had inked facility agreements with local, regional, and international banks and Saudi Arabia's SIDF to finance the construction of the plant.The 966 welcomes Todd Albert Nims. Mr. Nims, born in Saudi Arabia, is a leader in the Kingdom's film industry. He co-produced the major feature film Born a King, shot in London and Saudi Arabia which broke box office records for the Gulf.  He held the Film Producer position at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's state-of-the-art hub for inspiring creativity and global culture, Ithra, for six years where he established the Kingdom's first cinema and assisted in launching the first Saudi Film Days (saudifilmdays.com) program to provide funding and development to Saudi filmmakers while screening their films in Hollywood. Mr. Nims owns an entertainment company based in Riyadh with several scripts and projects in development and a creative consultancy business based in the USA. He also sits as chairman of the Arts, Culture & Entertainment Committee for the American Chamber of Commerce in KSA.Yallah! 6 Top Storylines this week...Per Bloomberg: Saudi Arabia's gross domestic product expanded an annual 8.8% in the third quarter, keeping the oil-rich kingdom on track to be the fastest-growing among the Group of 20 economies this year. The final figure was slightly higher than a preliminary estimate of 8.6% due to further expansion in the non-oil economy, data from the General Authority for Statistics showed Sunday. All sectors displayed positive annual growth.Saudi Arabia has previously said it anticipates full-year economic growth of 8.5%, as well as its first budget surplus in nearly a decade.***  According to Reuters, Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) and TotalEnergies will join forces to build a new petrochemicals complex in Saudi Arabia, the French energy group said on Thursday. The project involves investment of about $11 billion, of which $4 billion will be funded through equity by Aramco (62.5%) and TotalEnergies (37.5%), the statement said. — Per CNBC, Electric vehicle maker Lucid Group said Monday that it has completed a planned $1.5 billion equity offering. The company first announced the offering in November, when it reported its third-quarter results. Lucid raised the majority of that cash, about $915 million, via a private sale of nearly 86 million shares to an affiliate of its largest investor, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The remaining $600 million was raised via a traditional secondary stock offering, in which Lucid sold an additional 56 million shares.— Saudi's Water and Electricity Holding Company (Badeel) and energy company ACWA Power have signed power purchase agreements to develop the largest solar energy plant in the Middle East, Reuters reports. The 2,060 megawatt solar facility will be built in Al-Shuaibah, in the Makkah province, and is expected to become operational by the fourth quarter of 2025. —- According to a report in MEMO, Saudi Arabia plans 2km high 'megascraper' – Saudi Arabia is planning to build a 2,000 metre high tower in the capital Riyadh. If the plans go ahead, it will be the tallest building in the world, eclipsing the UAE's Burj Khalifa in Dubai which stands at 828 metres high. The estimated cost is around $5 billion according to a report by Middle East business intelligence (MEED). A design competition is currently underway with a participation fee of $1 million, the report said, citing sources close to the contest who also disclosed that several of the world's leading architecture firms have already been invited to take part. --- Eurofruit reports that “Indonesia is the main focus of the latest marketing drive for Saudi dates, along with Morocco, France, the UK and the US, as the Kingdom aims to be the first choice for date consumers globally.” According to Abdullah Al-Yahya, marketing department manager at the National Centre for Palms and Dates (NCPD), Saudi Arabia alone produces more than 400 kinds of dates. “There are more than 400 kinds of dates in Saudi Arabia, but we are focusing on a dozen or so. We are trying to educate people on the different kinds available, how tasty, how juicy, how healthy they are. We are focusing on organic dates as a super fruit and a healthy fruit.”Happy new year!

We're halfway through December and more than halfway through our Advent Calendar. Today Gary sits down with one of the most interesting and diversely creative writers working in science fiction today, Lavie Tidhar, about his new novels Neom and Maror, his many other projects, as well as what he's been reading lately and would recommend. As always, our thanks to Lavie for making the time to talk to us, and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Ned and Meg revisit a topic we love as we discuss the sheer madness of some of the proposed domestic mega-projects around the world. We're talking about DIY Cities, and boy are there a lot of these popping up -- but only in the hypothetical so far! We talk about Charlie Munger's Death Dorm again, plus NEOM's impossible, sideways skyscraper called The LINE for which people have already died, as well as a totally bogus city of dildo buildings in Senegal named for a one hit wonder in the 2000s American R&B scene. But really, all of this is just to get to the discussion of the one that takes *our* cake so far, Kenya's Konza Technopolis which is ironically the most likely to succeed logistically but which probably would be the worst to actually live in socially. Join us in complaint, and disbelief. As always, thanks for listening, send us an email if you feel like it, don't get anyone else sick, and don't be a dick!

China's president Xi Jinping declared his support Friday for an independent Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders. This is a slap at Israel, the US, and Chinese Christians.  5) Xi declares an independent Palestinian state “a necessity”; 4) Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Salman's futuristic city Neom under construction; 3) Biden's climate czar John Kerry says “it would be great” for American taxpayers to pay reparations for past pollution; 2) Theoretical physicist declares that the laws of physics don't exist; 1) Israeli woman pretends to order pizza while on the phone with police to fool alleged attacker who was in the room.

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, we are trying together a number of topics we've been discussing over the last year. Topics like the futuristic cites of NEOM, digital identity, the UN 2030 Agenda, the Metaverse and of course, your smart phone. The umbrella term for most of this is something called the Internet of Things, and we've played some great clips from Klaus Schwab tying this into the Great Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Take all these topics, we'll call them experiments, put them into a laboratory, we'll call that the pandemic, try them all out on the global population for the past 984 Days of 15 Days To Flatten the Curve, and that brings you to today where you are reading this article. On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we are not showing you what's coming, we are showing you what's here. The future has already arrived, and is assembling itself so quickly that much of it just bounces off our already overloaded brains, and we either fail to discern what's happening, or have become jaded to it an have stopped caring. Let me give you a good example of what I mean. Ten years ago, everyone online was up in arms over the proposed national database, remember everyone getting all excited about that? Well, as it turns out the national database arrived, look at your drivers license. See that gold star in the corner? You are in the national database, and didn't even know it. The expression '23 skidoo' is an American slang phrase generally referring to ‘leaving quickly, being forced to leave quickly by someone else'. 2023 is shaping up to be a barn burner. 23 Skidoo!

In this week's Minipod I briefly chat about my experience of breathing physiotherapy which is great for those of us who suffer with anxiety and perhaps don't breathe in the right way.Then I chat through some beautiful beauty gift ideas including the brand new candle from Neom and an affordable aromatherapy brand that I adore.

Ben is poolside at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh this week for a chat with journalist and writer Brian McGlinchey (28Pages.org, Stark Realities). We are talking about the fabled 28 Pages along with Operation Encore, some new Saudi names that have slipped out by mistake; plus the Saudi lobby, JASTA, and the current relationship between America and the Kingdom (everything is fine, thanks for asking). All that plus call centers, Neom, Newcastle United, and the charming idea of Irish 9/11.    Brian's Substack:  https://starkrealities.substack.com/   https://twitter.com/_starkrealities   RIP Gal Costa 1945-2022 (outro music)

How do you build a disruptive brand in a new sector, whilst keeping it accessible for all? In this episode, Nicola Elliot shares her lessons as she recounts her story building the cult status, well-being brand Neom Organics. Growing up in Yorkshire, a self declared naughty child, Nicola carved out a glittering career in advertising in her twenties before burn out forced her to refocus her energies in a different direction. Nicola recounts the early days of Neom, the risks, the setbacks, and challenges she faced, as well as the early green shoots of success that followed, catapulting the business to iconic status. Neom is a brand that in Nicola's words has been built brick by brick, and ignited the movement for natural, environmentally friendly well-being products. Nicola explains that Neom's products are for those that are “just trying to do their best” – for ourselves, and the environment.  Nicola's success story is a result of pure determination, and she shares with Holly how in her opinion, it is our responsibility as parents to teach our children to have strength and grit as a form of protection.  It's a conversation that prompts all of us to remember that building a brand is so much more than a final destination, and that how we get there is every bit as important. If you enjoyed this episode, head on over to hear Holly's talk with Chrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company, which we think you'll love too.  Plus for more unfiltered insight, subscribe to Holly's weekly newsletters on our website, where she shares small business inspiration of all kinds, exclusive nuggets of wisdom from her and her guests, plus offers, creative ideas and topical, 'ungoogleable' business advice. 

In this episode, Mo sits with Joseph Bradley, Beverly Rider, and Anand Mecheri at this year's GITEX event in Dubai, UAE.TONOMUS is the first subsidiary of NEOM, a region in Saudi Arabia building a future fueled by the power of cognitive technology. A cognitive world is built on trust, using more than 90% of consented data rather than the 1% used by today's smart cities. Hyper-connected cognitive cities will use that data to seamlessly interact with community members, interpreting and mapping future needs and adding unprecedented value to humanity.TONOMUSTwitter http://bit.ly/3X3LnNOLinkedIn http://bit.ly/3E5fvzWWebsite http://bit.ly/3Xe0W5VInvicara http://bit.ly/3UD3XL5
