Bisha - Runiyah - Al-Khurma Road
Project Description
The project is a strategic and vital initiative for the region, addressing the needs of both local citizens and Umrah and Hajj pilgrims. The importance of the road lies in its role as the main route for Umrah performers and pilgrims traveling to the Holy Mosque from the neighboring country of Yemen, the Asir region, and the southern part of the Riyadh region. Additionally, it connects three major administrative regions (Makkah, Riyadh, and Asir) and serves citizens traveling from the governorates of Bisha, Runiyah, and Al-Khurmah to Taif and Makkah. By creating a direct connection to the previous phase, it establishes a seamless link between the cities of the Raiyah governorates and the governorates of the Asir region via the Riyadh/Taif highway. This enhanced connectivity will streamline travel, improve access to key religious sites, and contribute to the region’s overall economic and social development. The project is integral to supporting the Kingdom’s broader objectives of enhancing infrastructure and facilitating the movement of people and goods.
