Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Global, the developer of the world-renowned destinations of The Red Sea and Amaala, unveiled a state-of-the-art robot to ensure that such stunning beaches remain pristine and free from any waste, SPA said on Friday.
The advanced electric robot was specifically designed to enhance the visual appeal of the sand and tackle the issue of plastic waste and debris, boasting an impressive ability to identify objects as tiny as one cubic cm.
It can be controlled remotely and has been meticulously crafted to deliver comprehensive and remarkable results while protecting the environment. With its exceptional flexibility, it effortlessly maneuvers around furniture and other obstacles that would pose a challenge for other robots. In just one hour, it can cover an impressive area of 3,000 square meters.
The robot will commence its operations at the Red Sea destination, helping to preserve the natural beauty of this world-class location and its breathtaking resorts. This achievement exemplifies Red Sea Global’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the beaches for visitors while promoting a harmonious balance between luxurious travel experiences and sustainable environmental practices.
The Red Sea destination welcomed its first visitors in 2023, coinciding with the inauguration of two hotels. Since September, the Red Sea International Airport, the primary gateway to this incredible destination, has been receiving regular flights.
By its grand inauguration in 2030, the Red Sea megaproject will host an impressive collection of 50 resorts, encompassing a total of 8,000 hotel units and over 1,000 residential units spread across 22 islands and six mainland sites. In addition to these accommodations, the destination will feature luxurious marinas, top-notch golf courses, and entertainment and recreational facilities.

North Korea on Sunday held its first Pyongyang International Marathon in six years, hosting foreign runners in the reclusive country that has largely closed its borders since the pandemic.

Athletes from China, Romania and other countries visited to participate in the event, state media KCNA news agency and Rodong Sinmun reported on Sunday.

About 200 foreigners arrived on Friday and Saturday in Pyongyang where those running practiced at a hotel for the Sunday race, said Simon Cockerell, general manager at Beijing-based Koryo Tours, in Instagram posts showing streets and a recreational area in Pyongyang.

The Koryo Tours is an official partner of the Pyongyang Marathon, aiding the sign-up process for international competitors.

The isolated state sealed its borders in 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic but has been slowly lifting restrictions since 2023.

It has allowed Russian tourist groups into the country, but its capital remains closed to regular tourism.

The marathon is a return course running through central Pyongyang, passing major landmarks and heading out into the countryside before coming back through the city to a stadium filled with 50,000 spectators, Koryo Tours said.

At the stadium, a crowd of North Koreans - some wearing masks - greeted the runners, and foreign participants took pictures of the spectators with mobile phones, pictures posted by Cockerell showed. Local media have yet to announce the victor.

The Pyongyang International Marathon is one of several events held to celebrate the April 15 birthday of Kim Il Sung, North Korea's founder and grandfather of current leader Kim Jong Un.
