Saudi Arabia's Economic Transformation Amid Social Change

Saudi Arabia is trying to change its economy and society.

Twenty years ago, cities like Buraidah were very strict with rules about religion and gender.

Now, women can work, drive, and go out freely.

The government is also trying to make the economy less dependent on oil by building new industries like tourism and mining.

They have big plans, like building futuristic cities and hotels.

However, making these changes is hard.

The economy still relies a lot on oil, and other industries are not growing as fast as hoped.

The government is spending a lot of money, which is causing some problems like higher prices and debts.

They need to make sure these changes last and benefit everyone in the long run.
