The Vision 2030 capital: 40.8 million passengers at King Khalid Airport, the world's longest driverless metro past 100 million riders in nine months, and a hotel pipeline that leans 78% luxury to feed a 150-million-visitor national target.
Riyadh runs a business-city grid — KAFD, Olaya, the diplomatic quarter — priced on corporate and government demand, with Riyadh Season and Diriyah now manufacturing a leisure layer that did not exist five years ago.
The pipeline is ultra-luxury: Diriyah Gate alone lines up Aman, Six Senses, The Chedi and Faena, while IHG plants an InterContinental and a Regent inside KAFD's vertical city.
The Riyadh dossier is complete — tracker plus four urban reads: the airport node, the rail node, the passport table and the money flow.
