PERMITS AND AUTHORIZATIONS
Seeking to operate within the Reserve? A permit from the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve Development Authority is essential. While we collaborate closely with all relevant authorities within the Reserve, obtaining our permit does not exempt you from securing approvals from them. All projects must adhere strictly to our comprehensive rules and regulations, which encompass zoning, vernacular architecture, and development codes for protected areas.
