Presentation

Red Sea International Airport, an airport experience unlike any other

The Red Sea resorts require a new means of access for national and international guests, one that is both sustainable and luxurious – where passengers become guests. The initial architectural concept created unique challenges and great opportunities to realize something truly special, but also as a functional design that could comply with all authority requirements and come in on time/on budget. Through lateral thinking and rigorous development, the scheme not only reached the client’s aspirations but exceeded them. This presentation will discuss the challenges, solutions and progress updates from key individuals involved in the project's success.
