Teal Lucid Air Is Red Sea International Airport's Official Shuttle

Lucid currently offers customers a selection of six paint jobs – white, black, silver, grey, red, and blue. That striking teal shown by RSIA is not one of them. Judging by how great the all-electric sedan looks, the automaker should have included it in its portfolio.

But it's not entirely out of the question. The Red Sea International Airport is not just another hub that brings airlines and travelers together. It's part of a much bigger initiative called Red Sea Global. It was named after the body of water separating Africa from the Middle East and is around 56 miles from the small city of Al Wajh in Western Saudi Arabia.

The urban location is part of the Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve, a huge patch of land that is heavily protected because of its striking natural beauty. There's nothing particularly exciting about the city. It looks like a normal, slightly touristy Arabian town that's been taken care of – for now. The Public Investment Fund's (PIF) development plans could soon turn it into a very important location.

Red Sea Global is Saudi Arabia's plan to enhance its tourism sector and prepare for a post-oil world. Currently, the nation is artificially limiting the output of black gold so it can be sold at a higher price. The country stands to gain a lot more money if it doesn't enhance supply. It's one of the reasons why Californians pay a lot more for gas than before and why the Middle Eastern country is happy with its and OPEC's decision.

When the Red Sea International Airport is completely operational, it will serve around 250 million people, per official estimates. The luxurious location will connect travelers with the Red Sea and Amaala resorts. They are being touted as "regenerative tourism destinations" that will go above and beyond to "not only protect the natural environment but enhance it for future generations."

Saudi Arabia's plans to offer luxury accommodations in the middle of nowhere are genius because, apart from Egypt, there isn't much competition in that area. Unlike Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, and Yemen are not perceived as great places to visit.

The country stands to gain a lot if it transforms its West Coast, which is also home to the world's fourth-largest barrier reef system. It spans over 17,400 square miles with an archipelago of more than 90 untouched islands, pristine beaches, dormant volcanos, sweeping desert dunes, and mountain canyons.

The Red Sea resort is already open for business and ready to receive its first guests, but the expansion will continue even further. The area is expected to comprise 50 hotels and 1,000 residential properties by 2030.

Amaala, on the other hand, is focused on becoming a wellness retreat for affluent people who desire only the best things on Earth. It will look like Black Mirror's San Junipero on steroids but without all the messed up stuff from the TV show. Amaala is geared towards couples and families.

Currently, there's only one flight available toward the RSIA, which departs from Saudi Arabia's capital city Riyadh. It stays in the air for approximately two hours. It has just been inaugurated, too.

The Public Investment Fund that financed this mega-project also owns over 60% of Lucid Motors. On top of that, Saudi Arabia is also creating its own car brand – Ceer. But it seems like it doesn't want to wait until its homegrown automaker is manufacturing its first vehicle.

As such, if you plan to visit Saudi Arabia's newest tourist destination - the Red Sea Resort -, you could end up riding in a teal Lucid Air. When writing, Amaala is not ready for retreats.

The zero-tailpipe emission sedan was chosen to help guests travel in style. You also won't have to worry about your luggage because the airport has set up a smart and efficient sorting system that makes sure everything you bring with you stays with you.

It's not yet clear how many Lucid Air EVs will be available to visitors and if everyone visiting the resort will get to ride in the posh sedan. What's known, however, is that Saudi Arabia won't add any other vehicle to RSIA's fleet. That's because Lucid is expected to inaugurate a brand-new factory in the country, which could shorten delivery times.
