Transforming Saudi Arabia

The World This Weekend

Available for 29 days

Ten years on from launching Vision 2030, how much has the kingdom changed under Mohammed Bin Salman and his grand plans, and how much could tensions in the Middle East disrupt plans? We hear from those living in the country, those advising their government on mega projects, Jamal Khashoggi's widow, an opposition party in exile, and a former UK ambassador to the country.
