This announcement comes at a time when Metaverse continues to be adopted in the Middle East and used in many important areas of our real life, as the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have already launched various initiatives to take advantage of the emerging technology.

Saudi Arabia recently stated that it is using Metaverse to lower planning and development costs for some of its projects, including NEOM and the Red Sea.

It should be noted that last year, the Government of Dubai in the UAE announced its Metaverse Strategy, which aims to promote Metaverse to attract more than 1,000 Web 3.0 companies to the emirate and secure more than 40,000 virtual jobs by 2030.
