In a landmark move, Saudi Arabia has officially allowed foreign investors to purchase property across the Kingdom — including the holy cities of Madinah and Makkah. The new policy marks one of the most significant developments in Saudi real-estate regulations in recent years.
Authorities say the reform aims to boost international investment, strengthen the housing sector, and support Saudi Arabia’s long-term economic goals. Foreign nationals will be able to buy residential and commercial properties under specific guidelines, with full ownership rights.
Real-estate experts are calling this a “game-changing opportunity,” noting that global demand for property in the Kingdom—especially near religious landmarks—has always been extremely high.
Saudi officials emphasized that the regulatory framework will ensure transparency, security, and sustainable growth in the real-estate market.
The announcement has already generated excitement among expatriates and international investors looking to enter one of the region’s fastest-growing property markets.
