If correct Saudi Arabia will implement the consumption and sale of alcohol, this will be a new twist for the famous conservative government. However, some are also concerned that the plan will spell cultural change in Saudi Arabia.
During this period, the Kingdom prohibited the consumption or sale of alcohol in any form throughout the country. Violators of the law may face penalties in the form of fines, imprisonment and flogging.
Neom itself is one of the Saudi tourism strategies worth US $ 1 trillion or approximately Rs.14,968 trillion.
