Saudi Arabia’s Adeer Real Estate Company announced selling Sumou Al-Khobar project east of the Kingdom for more than SAR1.8 billion ($480 million) during the public auction it organized on Thursday.

CEO of Adeer Mutab Al Saad said the auction’s success underlines the advantages that the project enjoys, including its strategic location in the Seef neighborhood, which is one of the most important neighborhoods in the center of Saudi Arabia’s Triplet Cities of Dammam, Khobar and Dhahran.

He pointed out that the area is distinguished by its many facilities and services that enhance the quality of life and advance the implemented investment projects.

Mutab pointed out that the Company always seeks to provide key real estate opportunities, which are characterized by their vital locations and components, to meet the investors’ needs.

It also contributes to enhancing the real estate sector, which is considered a major source of income to the Saudi economy and one of the main tools to achieve the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

He said the sector is witnessing a development in laws and legislations and an increase in government spending on huge infrastructure projects, which raised its reliability and contributed to attracting Saudi and foreign investors.

Sara Ahmed Buhijji, CEO of Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, revealed the formation of a committee dedicated to coordinating exhibitions, conferences, and tourism events between Manama and Riyadh, with the aim to maximize mutual benefits for both countries in the sector.
Buhijji was speaking on the sidelines of the 9th UNWTO Forum on Gastronomy Tourism, held in Bahrain from November 18-19.
The event, which is taking place for the first time in the Middle East, is organized by the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, the UN World Tourism Organization, and the Basque Culinary Center.
According to Buhijji, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are promoting a shared tourism product, given their geographical proximity and close ties. Visitors to Manama can easily travel to Saudi Arabia, either via the King Fahd Causeway—reaching the Eastern Province in less than 20 minutes—or by air, with a flight to Riyadh taking approximately 30 minutes.
She also highlighted a targeted effort to attract tourists from five key countries, including GCC nations, with a particular focus on Saudi Arabia as one of the largest sources of visitors to Bahrain.
Buhijji emphasized the significance of hosting the 9th UNWTO Forum on Gastronomy Tourism in the Middle East, which has attracted over 650 participants from 59 countries, including the GCC.
She noted that hosting such a prominent event demonstrates Bahrain’s capability to attract large-scale events, thanks to its robust infrastructure, numerous hotels, and Bahrain International Airport’s capacity to handle a significant number of visitors.
