1. Strategic Expansion Across the Kingdom
AlArabia’s growth extended rapidly across Saudi Arabia, starting in major metropolitan areas and expanding into every major city. It strategically positioned its solutions along highways, airports, metro stations, and other key locations to ensure premium visibility.
A major milestone was securing the King Khalid International Airport project in Riyadh—managing billboards on access roads and inside terminals. This project, at one of the Kingdom’s busiest travel hubs, further underscored AlArabia’s ability to deliver unmatched audience reach.
Further strengthening its presence in Riyadh, AlArabia extended its solutions to some of the city’s busiest and most strategic areas, including the Riyadh Metro. By integrating its advertising platforms within metro stations, the company now reaches thousands of daily commuters, enhancing urban engagement and delivering impactful brand exposure in a dynamic transit environment.
Additionally, AlArabia expanded its reach to intercity routes, implementing high-visibility advertising solutions along major highways that connect Saudi Arabia’s key regions. This move ensures brand presence not only within city limits but also across the Kingdom’s vital travel corridors.
2. Supporting Vision 2030
A key turning point in AlArabia’s journey was its alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The company recognized the transformative impact of the Vision on the Kingdom’s cities, infrastructure, and economy. In response, AlArabia positioned itself as a vital partner in national development.
By modernising public spaces and enhancing urban aesthetics through its digital networks, AlArabia not only amplified brand presence but also contributed to the beautification and innovation of Saudi cities. These efforts supported the Vision’s goals of economic diversification and urban transformation.
