The hospitality landscape across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is undergoing a major structural expansion. According to recent market data, the Middle East hotel construction pipeline has reached a record high, with luxury and upscale segments leading the growth.
