Escape the ordinary: Celebrate Eid Al-Adha at Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, offers an exclusive opportunity to celebrate Eid in a secluded island setting within the Ummahat Islands in the Red Sea. Surrounded by one of the world’s most untouched marine environments, the resort combines refined luxury with natural beauty. With spacious villas, uninterrupted sea views, and personalized service, Nujuma is designed for guests seeking a peaceful and private holiday experience.

An Eid Al-Adha celebration like no other

To mark Eid Al-Adha, Nujuma is inviting guests to enjoy a thoughtfully curated stay that combines elevated dining, family-friendly moments, and opportunities for rest and renewal. The seasonal offer includes:

  • Daily breakfast and dinner for two: Guests can delight in exquisite dining each day, including two signature experiences — Arabian Surf and Turf at SITA Restaurant on June 7 and a “beach dinner under the stars” on June 8 — creating an atmosphere of celebration and culinary delight.
  • Family-friendly elegance: Children aged 6–12 can join the festivities for an additional SR275++ per child, making this the perfect escape for families seeking a meaningful holiday together.

This offer is valid for stays from June 4–8, with a minimum three-night stay required. Guests can use the promotional code “E4000” to access the offer.

“Let Nujuma, a Ritz Carlton Reserve be the place where your Eid Al-Adha becomes more than a getaway — a time to reconnect with loved ones, reflect on the season, and enjoy the rare stillness of an island sanctuary,” a press statement said.

Tucked away in the remote Ummahat Islands along Saudi Arabia’s ecologically rich Red Sea coast, Nujuma is the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Middle East.

This secluded sanctuary features 65 elegantly designed beach and overwater villas, each offering expansive living spaces, panoramic sea views, and private pools. Inspired by the natural curves of seashells and built with locally sourced materials, the architecture pays homage to the region’s heritage and environment.

Guests can indulge in curated culinary journeys across four distinctive dining venues, where modern gastronomy is elevated by thoughtful storytelling and authentic flavors. Every experience at Nujuma, from wellness at the Neyrah Spa, to stargazing and marine exploration is crafted to connect guests to the rhythms of nature and the spirit of Saudi Arabia.

With a deep commitment to regenerative tourism, cultural authenticity, and meaningful connection, Nujuma is not simply a destination — it is a rare journey into the heart of refined discovery.

25,000 attend Social Development Bank’s DeveGO25 forum

The Social Development Bank concluded the second edition of the Entrepreneurship and Modern Business Practices Forum — DeveGo 2025 — announcing the achievement of high-impact outcomes that further reinforced the forum’s position as the largest national platform in the region dedicated to entrepreneurship, innovation, and freelance work in Saudi Arabia and beyond. 

The forum witnessed broad participation from local and international experts, investors, entrepreneurs, and representatives of local, regional, and international institutions.

Over three days at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center, the forum drew 25,000 participants and visitors, who benefited from over 45 specialized workshops and over 2500 advisory sessions delivered by more than 70 consultants and experts. 

The sessions covered key areas including entrepreneurial planning, business models, venture capital, digital platforms, freelancing, and emerging technologies. 

The forum also featured 20 panel discussions with leading local and international speakers, addressing major global trends in entrepreneurship, including the future of artificial intelligence, the creative economy, digital transformation, and venture investment. 

The forum saw the launch of the Saudi Empretec Fellowship, in the presence of Rebeca Grynspan, secretary-general of the UN Conference on Trade and Development. 

The partners in success within the Social Responsibility Portfolio supporting entrepreneurs were honored. 

It also saw the honoring of 13 winners of the Handicrafts Competition, representing various regions of the Kingdom, the announcement of winners of the Salam Award for Promising Projects, and the recognition of leading entrepreneurial projects fund under the Enterprises Track. 

In addition, the NEXT UP Challenge concluded on the third day of the forum with 20 startups presenting their projects to more than 500 investors, enhancing opportunities for networking and partnership building.

As part of efforts to strengthen the support ecosystem, the forum witnessed the signing of 51 agreements, along with the launch of a suite of new financing products. These included the Capital Expansion Product with a ceiling of up to SR10 million, the Payroll Product with a ceiling of SR2 million, and the Rental Product with a ceiling of SR1.5 million, aimed at supporting enterprises in asset development and covering operational costs. 

This reflects the bank’s direction toward offering more specialized financing tools that respond effectively to market needs.

The forum concluded by reaffirming its role as a unifying national platform for entrepreneurship, where accompanying activities and events provided direct engagement opportunities between entrepreneurs, investors, and experts. 

The forum also highlighted success stories and practical experiences that reflect the scale of entrepreneurial momentum in the Kingdom and the growing role of the Social Development Bank in supporting a national economy driven by innovation and knowledge.
