Najran Municipality in Saudi Arabia has put 23 investment opportunities up for tender in Al-Wadiah. Together the sites cover 520,577 square meters. They include commercial property, hospitality and transport services.

The projects are offered through the Furas municipal investment portal. Bids are due on Nov. 19. The largest site covers 360,000 square meters. It is set aside for building, running and maintaining open parking areas for trucks and cars.

Separately, Saudi Arabia is working to grow its non-oil exports. That means selling goods abroad other than oil. The effort comes at a time of shifting trade patterns, geopolitical uncertainty and supply-chain disruptions.

In that setting, access to financing, risk management and international partnerships matter more for exporters. These tools help companies stay competitive and reach more buyers. Under Saudi Vision 2030, the national development plan, widening the reach of Saudi products is a central aim.

Another headline says the kingdom has added four more countries to its tourist e-visa list. The material gives no further detail on which countries are included.
