This is true. I’ve bought loads this weekend.
The general rule is SAR50k a month, non muslim and iqama.
But this isn’t new, the alochol store has been open for 2 years. More are opening.
The country is progressing forward.

I worked in Saudi several years ago. A friend’s company was tasked with installing satellite TV in one of the Prince’s homes. He said the prince had a fully stocked bar in the lower level. Like the article said “ if you’re rich enough “
