IKEA Saudi Arabia opens 3 new locations in 1 week

IKEA inaugurated three new locations recently — a new store at Al-Salaam Mall in Jeddah, and two Order and Collection Points (OCPs) in Qassim and Kharj. The three openings, which are part of an expansion plan by IKEA Saudi Arabia, took place on
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.
The openings are in line with IKEA’s vision to “Creating a better everyday life for the many people” and its commitment to becoming more accessible to its customers.
IKEA Saudi Arabia CEO Saud Al-Sulaiman said: “We are always committed to getting closer to our customers, giving them a chance to enjoy a more convenient and comfortable life at home. Despite market challenges today, this bold move is evidence to IKEA’s belief in the Kingdom’s strong economy and the vigour of the retail industry.”
He added: “The opening of a new IKEA store in Al-Salaam Mall and two Order and Collection Points in Qassim and Kharj reflects our promise of making IKEA even more accessible to households in these cities and providing them the option to shop through different ways however and whenever they want.”
The new IKEA store at Al-Salaam Mall spans over 25,500-square meter and is located at the intersection of King Abdullah and Prince Majid roads.
The store caters to the needs of customers in the city’s southern part, hosting a showroom, a restaurant and a market hall — all on one floor. It is a new destination that complements the family-friendly experience provided by Al-Salaam Mall.
The store displays the full IKEA range with more than 7,000 articles. It has a play area for up to 100 children, and a restaurant that seats 400 people and serves a variety of delicious Swedish and international dishes. Services include home furnishing advice and planning, kitchen services, self-service, delivery and assembly, along with complementary benefits, such as a zero percent instalment plan and 90 days exchange and return policy.
IKEA customers in Qassim and Kharj will be able to browse IKEA’s website for a wide range of IKEA articles via the self-ordering area inside the OCP, where they can place an order online and pick up their items at their own convenience.

Ajdan cements role in major projects by signing MoU with King Salman International Airport in Riyadh

Ajdan Real Estate Development Company signed an MoU with King Salman International Airport during the Public Investment Fund & Private Sector Forum 2026. 

The MoU aims to explore areas of cooperation and identify opportunities for mixed-use real estate and commercial development that will enhance project quality and meet the highest standards of efficiency and excellence.

Representing Ajdan at the signing ceremony was its CEO, Eng. Mohammed bin Abdulmohsen Al-Otaibi, while Dr. Mohammed Al-Jarallah, deputy chief executive for real estate development, signed on behalf of King Salman International Airport. The MoU establishes a strategic framework for future cooperation and paves the way for a long-term partnership on a number of flagship projects.

Under this memorandum, Ajdan collaborates with King Salman International Airport on the development of mixed-use spaces and commercial facilities within the airport’s premises, building on its role as a national real estate developer delivering innovative projects that advance sustainable development. The company will leverage its expertise in the planning, design, and management of integrated commercial destinations to ensure project execution meets the highest standards of quality and sustainability.

King Salman International Airport is one of the Kingdom’s largest strategic development projects in terms of area and operational ambition. The airport spans approximately 57 sq. km, of which about 12 sq. km are allocated for mixed-use real estate development, in addition to fully integrated economic and logistics zones covering more than 3 million square meters. 

These developments will enhance the integration of real estate, commercial, and service activities. The airport targets handling 100 million passengers annually by 2030, supported by comprehensive upgrades to facilities, infrastructure, and logistics services, positioning it as an advanced multi-sector investment platform and a driver of economic growth.

Eng. Mohammed bin Abdulmohsen Al-Otaibi, CEO of Ajdan, stated: “We take pride in our collaboration with King Salman International Airport, which reflects Ajdan’s commitment to developing integrated destinations in line with global standards. Through this partnership, we aim to leverage our expertise to deliver innovative solutions that create sustainable value for the airport and enhance the visitor experience.”

KSIA Acting CEO Marco Mejia said: “These seven partnerships reflect our ambitious vision to transform KSIA into a fully integrated urban and economic ecosystem that goes beyond the traditional concept of airports. We are proud to collaborate with a distinguished group of leading national real estate developers whose deep expertise and strong track records will help deliver high-quality projects, create sustainable economic value, and further position the airport as a leading investment hub.”

This step is part of Ajdan’s strategy to expand its strategic partnerships and develop sustainable urban and commercial destinations that help improve the quality of life and support economic growth across the Kingdom.
