Lord Foster visits The Red Sea Resorts in Saudi Arabia
This significant visit underscores the deep collaboration between Foster + Partners, a key design partner in shaping several of the destination’s iconic resorts, and RSG’s pioneering vision for sustainable development and regenerative tourism.
During his visit, Lord Foster experienced firsthand the architectural marvels his team brought to life, from the innovative Red Sea International Airport (on track to become carbon-neutral and powered by 100% renewables), to the stunning Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, and the unique overwater pods of Sheybarah Resort.
Lord Foster travelled by seaplane and helicopter with RSG’s CEO John Pagano, offering panoramic views that highlight the destination’s seamless integration with its pristine natural environment.

Lord Foster shared his impression of how the architectural vision translates into reality:
“The art of visualisation is very sophisticated, when you photograph the result, and you compare it with the renderings, it’s difficult to tell which is which – but in the end nothing prepares you for the actual experience of any building, and this one in particular.”
