Saudi Arabia to Open First Alcohol Store for Diplomats

Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to open its first liquor store in Riyadh, the capital city, to attract non-Muslim diplomats. Although alcohol remains illegal for Saudi citizens, the store will require registration through an app, Foreign Ministry permission, and adherence to monthly quotas.
