$131m Riyadh Shooting Range &
Entertainment Complex to create 2,300+ jobs and attract 400,000 visitors
annually.
Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia, 12 November, 2025:
The
Events Investment Fund (EIF) — launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed
bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi
Arabia, under the National Development Fund (NDF) — today announced the
development of the Riyadh Shooting Range & Entertainment Complex, its first
landmark project at an investment exceeding SAR 491 million (over US$ 131
million).
The announcement was made at the inaugural TOURISE Summit in
Riyadh, the world’s premier platform for shaping the future of global tourism.
Situated just 40 minutes from Riyadh, the state-of-the-art Riyadh
Shooting Range & Entertainment Complex is located within Qiddiya City, the
new global destination built entirely around the Power of Play. Located on a
457,000 sqm site, it will feature a world-class Shooting Sport venue that
complies with International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) standards. It will
host international and national events and provide both professional and
amateur shooting training facilities, with professional and commercial ranges
for pistol, rifle, and shotgun disciplines.
The venue is designed with the capability to host national and
international shooting events, including Asian Games, World Cups, Grand Prix
and Olympic events, and is fully supported by the Saudi Shooting Federation
(SSF). The Entertainment Complex will also comprise a wide range of experiences
for corporate events and families, including paintball, airsoft, laser tag, and
virtual shooting. The facility is anticipated to create more than 2,300 jobs
and attract over 400,000 visitors annually.
EIF’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wahdan
Suliman Alkadi said: “The Riyadh Shooting Range marks a major milestone in the
journey of the Events Investment Fund and is our first landmark project, built
to Qiddiya City’s international standards. This development reflects our
commitment to creating world-class venues that enhance the Kingdom’s events
infrastructure, stimulate investment opportunities, and contribute to achieving
the goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.”
Muhannad AlDawood, Chief Strategy Officer for Qiddiya Investment
Company also commented: “We’re delighted to welcome the Events Investment Fund
and the Riyadh Shooting Range to Qiddiya City. As we embark on our journey to
host a range of world-class sporting facilities, accessible to members of the
public, enthusiasts and high performing athletes alike, this dedicated facility
and entertainment complex is the latest exciting addition to the world’s first
city built for play.”
EIF expects to announce early next year similar projects in other
cities to reinforce its commitment to building sustainable event infrastructure
that enhances quality of life, supports economic diversification, and positions
Saudi Arabia as a leading global destination for leisure and sport.
