- False claims lack any official confirmation and do not reflect existing policies or regulations
RIYADH: Claims carried by a number of foreign media outlets suggesting that Ƶ is planning to license alcohol sales starting in 2026, are false. According to informed sources aware of the matter, “these claims lack any official confirmation from relevant authorities and do not reflect existing policies or regulations in Ƶ.”
The sources told Arab News that Ƶ, under its ambitious vision to develop the tourism sector, remains committed to offering a unique and culturally immersive experience.
This approach has been well-received by international visitors who come to explore the Kingdom’s rich heritage and diverse natural landscapes.
Regarding alcohol regulations for non-Muslim diplomats, the sources clarified that Ƶ has introduced a new framework aimed at preventing the unauthorized use of diplomatic shipments.
