Saudi Vision 2030, launched by the Crown Prince, aims to build a prosperous and sustainable future that reflects our ambition and our identity.

  • Generosity is among the highest traits of Saudi identity, passed down by Saudis from their forefathers. It is not only generosity with money, but with time, effort, and standing by others. In Saudi culture, generosity means giving from the heart, opening your home before anyone has to ask, and taking joy in the giving itself. It is an ingrained nature, seen in the coffee pot that never goes cold, the door that stays open, and the incense burner that is never left unlit. Generosity is a noble trait of Saudi identity, passed down by Saudis from their forefathers. It means giving from the heart and opening your home.

  • Hospitality is a core value of our culture and a distinctive mark of Saudi identity. It goes beyond hosting well, extending to the warmth of the welcome and the readiness to offer help before it is asked for. It symbolizes authenticity and belonging, and Saudis are raised on it from childhood, making it a natural part of daily life and relationships between people. Hospitality is part of our Saudi identity, and it shows in the welcome we give and the help we offer.

  • Drive is one of the defining traits of the Saudi character. It is the force that sets ambition in motion and leads the way to achievement. It has become part of our national culture, drawn from our belief in our own abilities and our confidence in our future. Drive is one of the defining traits of the Saudi character: the force that sets ambition in motion and leads the way to achievement.

  • Courage, in our peace and in our customs, is a value we were raised on: we answer without hesitation, and we stand by whoever calls on us. It is a trait rooted in us since ancient times and carried on through the history of this great land, where the people of this nation have always been a support and a helping hand to anyone in need. Courage is in our blood: we answer the call at once and stand by whoever needs us... a trait long rooted in the history of our great nation.

  • Authenticity in Saudi society reflects how deeply people are connected to their roots and their history, and how proud they are of the heritage they carry. It shows in the customs and traditions they hold on to, and in the values passed down from one generation to the next. Authenticity in Saudi society reflects how connected people are to their roots and how proud they are of the heritage they carry.
