The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, arrived in the Neom economic zone on Wednesday for a period of rest and relaxation, according to state news agency SPA.
King Salman had been released from hospital on July 30 after undergoing surgery to remove his gall bladder.

In videos posted by Saudi state television and the Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs of King Salman's arrival in Neom, he can be seen standing on an escalator carrying him from a plane to a waiting car, and walking into a building, surrounded by several men wearing masks.
King Salman had been admitted to hospital on July 20, suffering from gall bladder inflammation.
 
Neom, the $500 billion (Dh1.84 trillion) flagship business zone, is a part of Vision 2030 plan to attract foreign investment and create jobs in a bid to wean the Kingdom off reliance on oil. Neom includes high-tech projects powered by wind and solar energy as well as sports halls, concert facilities and restaurants.
