I was in Qatar on business in the spring of this year.
The talk there was that Saudi’s wanted to turn the kingdom into a tourist destination. At the time I thought it was a joke considering the intense islamic structure.
OTOH, this could be the king consolidating his power by taking out his rivals.
The King has also declared the monetary assets, and businesses of those arrested now belong to KSA.. so, they now own second largest share in Twitter.
Plus, a lot of other things..construction, hotels, media..This is gonna get even more interesting.
