Smells like diversifying the country's economy to me, i.e. someone who hasn't really looked into the matter at all. Does anyone have any idea whether Saudi Arabia has invested significantly in other areas that might have a brighter future than oil?

This is part of some plan to make Saudi Arabia less dependent on oil. They've also invested in sports I think.
