Cruise Arabia Alliance Expands With Saudi and Qatar

The Cruise Arabia Alliance broadened its regional tourism network by formally including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, enhancing coordinated marketing and operations. (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Bahrain)

The expanded alliance now links major ports across the Gulf, from Abu Dhabi and Dubai to Doha and Jeddah, presenting the region as a unified cruise destination. This integration supports shared tourism growth, infrastructure projections, and diversified travel products aimed at global visitors. The move strengthens GCC efforts to boost regional connectivity and travel experiences, contributing to non-oil economic activity in member states.
