Saudi Arabia is undergoing a cultural transformation led by Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman’s Vision 2030, breaking traditional attitudes and embracing modernity. This shift includes opening up to tourism, empowering women, and redefining nationalism beyond religious boundaries. Al-Ula, a historical city at the center of MBS’s plan, symbolizes this change. As Saudi Arabia welcomes tourists, there are opportunities for India in areas like education, art, and counter-terrorism collaboration. The ongoing India-Saudi Arabia joint military exercise and the potential for bilateral investments indicate a growing partnership between the two countries.
