Saudia: Three retired Boeing 777 planes from Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) are making a fascinating journey from Jeddah to Riyadh. They are being transported on big trucks after their wings and fuselages were taken apart. The trip covers about 1,000 kilometers and will end at the Riyadh Season 2024 Boulevard Runway zone, where the planes will be turned into shops and restaurants with fun activities.
People across Saudi Arabia are excited and sharing videos and photos on social media. Many Saudis are dressing in traditional clothes and waving the national flag while posing with planes. Families and children are also joining in the fun, with kids wearing green shirts and waving toy planes.
Turki al Sheikh, head of the General Entertainment Authority, announced a photo contest on X. The best photo of the planes during their journey can win luxury cars. He has been sharing many exciting pictures, showing how much people are enjoying this unique event. This project is not just a journey; it promises to bring joy and entertainment to everyone in the upcoming Riyadh Season.
