About
This newsletter aims to help those interested in Saudi Arabia to understand the country better during a period of change by providing context, commentary and analysis on the kingdom. As the world’s largest oil exporter, Saudi Arabia is a major player
in the global economy and one of the main powers in the Middle East. While it has always been seen as a bastion of the status quo, the country is now undergoing unprecedented economic and social transformations.
Riyadh Bureau is written by me, Ahmed Al Omran. I have been writing about Saudi Arabia for an international audience for more than ten years, first as a blogger and more recently as a reporter for major American and British publications. I currently work as a correspondent for the Financial Times in Riyadh.
