A weekend getaway to Saudi Arabia could soon become a norm for Qatar residents after U.S. theme park company Six Flags Entertainment announced its plans to expand to the kingdom.
"We're very honored to be provided with an opportunity to enter into a partnership to bring Six Flags to the kingdom ... Our parks can provide the entertainment to which Saudis aspire," CEO John Duffey said.
Duffey did not elaborate on the terms and conditions of the partnership, according to a Reuters report.
It has been reported that Saudi Arabia's neighbouring cities, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, will also support the developments of the Six Flags theme park.

It is also unclear whether the theme park company will tailor its rides to the social codes of a country where public spaces are gender segregated and patrolled by religious police.

Six Flags operates approximately 20 theme and water parks in North America and signed an agreement with a private Ho Chi Minh City based company in March to open two parks in Vietnam.
