In a landmark move, Saudi Arabia has granted Nigerians the right to purchase real estate in Makkah, coinciding with the unveiling of the King Salman Gate project-an ambitious development designed to attract international investment and modernize the urban landscape of the Holy City.
The announcement was made by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who serves as Crown Prince, Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of RUA Al Haram Al Makki Company. He introduced the King Salman Gate initiative as a pivotal step in Makkah’s urban evolution.
Covering an expansive area of up to 12 million square meters adjacent to Al-Masjid Al-Haram, this project represents a significant advancement in the city’s development, positioning Makkah as a global exemplar in contemporary urban planning.
The development aims to revolutionize infrastructure and urban design, enhancing accessibility to Al-Masjid Al-Haram while improving service standards and enriching the overall experience for pilgrims and visitors alike, in line with the objectives of the Pilgrim Experience Program.
Situated strategically beside Al-Masjid Al-Haram, King Salman Gate will serve as a comprehensive mixed-use hub, offering residential, hospitality, commercial, and cultural amenities. It is designed to accommodate approximately 900,000 worshippers both indoors and outdoors. The project will integrate seamlessly with public transit systems to ensure convenient access and comfort.
Moreover, the development will honor Makkah’s rich heritage by restoring and enhancing nearly 19,000 square meters of historic sites, preserving the city’s cultural identity while blending traditional architecture with cutting-edge modern living. This initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to stimulate economic growth and create over 300,000 employment opportunities by 2036.
RUA Al Haram Al Makki Company, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) entity, is spearheading the King Salman Gate project. The company’s mission is to advance urban development around Al-Masjid Al-Haram, setting new standards in real estate excellence globally. Their commitment extends to sustainable resource management and innovative solutions that benefit residents, pilgrims, and visitors, all while safeguarding Makkah’s cultural heritage.
