The name Amaala is an apparent mashup of two words that represent hope and purity and it’s easy to see why this is an appropriate name for this lavish resort.
Situated on a remote part of the northwestern Red Sea, the resort is targeted for the world’s ultra wealthy and they will soon have a new airport.
The airport promises to be unlike any other airport and it’s 1 million annual guest will be treated to an architectural masterpiece.
