EIF launches Riyadh Shooting Range development with investment exceeding SAR 491M

The Riyadh Shooting Range and Entertainment Complex is located 40 minutes from Riyadh in Qiddiya.

The Events Investment Fund (EIF) launched the Riyadh Shooting Range and Entertainment Complex, its first major development project, with an investment exceeding SAR 491 million (over $131 million).

Located 40 minutes from Riyadh in Qiddiya, the Kingdom’s new global entertainment hub, the 457,000-square-meter facility will meet International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) standards and include advanced training centers and professional pistol, rifle, and shotgun ranges.

EIF said the project will create over 2,300 jobs and attract more than 400,000 visitors each year.

Designed to host national championships and major global tournaments, including the Asian Games, World Cups, Grand Prix, and Olympics, the range will operate with full support from the Saudi Shooting Federation. It will also offer paintball, airsoft, laser tag, and virtual shooting experiences for companies and families.

EIF added that more similar projects will be announced next year in other Saudi cities, reinforcing its goal to build sustainable event infrastructure that enhances quality of life, supports economic diversification, and strengthens Saudi Arabia’s global position in entertainment and sports.

Launched by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in January 2023, EIF aims to develop infrastructure for culture, tourism, entertainment, and sports, while attracting foreign investment and advancing Vision 2030 objectives.
