RedBox Celebrates 10 Million Deliveries and Unveils Ambitious Expansion Plans Across Saudi Arabia and Beyond
Founded in 2019, RedBox has rapidly grown into Saudi Arabia's largest smart delivery points network, operating over 1,800 delivery points, including smart lockers and direct pickup counters across 81 cities. With plans to double this figure to 3,000 lockers by the end of 2025, the company is solidifying its role as a critical enabler of digital logistics in the Kingdom.
Thamer Al-Tuwaiyan, CEO of RedBox, stated: 'This milestone reflects the trust of our customers and partners, and the efforts of a talented team driven by innovation and excellence. RedBox is more than a logistics company, it's a platform empowering the digital economy and supports the goals of Vision 2030, launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, focusing on digital transformation and sustainability as essential pillars of the Kingdom's prosperous future.'
This milestone is also in line with the Kingdom's ongoing efforts under the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) — one of the key Vision 2030 programs. NIDLP aims to transform Saudi Arabia into a global logistics hub and an industrial powerhouse by integrating and developing the sectors of industry, mining, energy, and logistics. As a national player in the smart delivery ecosystem, RedBox actively contributes to realizing these ambitions through its innovative, sustainable last-mile delivery solutions.
RedBox's unique value proposition lies in its smart and technology-driven solutions, 24/7 accessible smart locker solutions that provide contactless, flexible parcel delivery eliminating the frustration of missed deliveries for both customers and couriers. RedBox also provides its solutions at competitive rates, which makes its services affordable for a wide segment of users. This efficiency is also eco-conscious: RedBox has achieved up to 75% reduction in last-mile emissions through consolidated drop-offs and optimized delivery routes.
RedBox collaborates with top e-commerce platforms and logistics providers, including Noon, IHerb, NiceOne, Temu, DHL, Aramex, Al Majed for Oud, and Brands for Less, making it a trusted partner in Saudi Arabia's growing digital commerce ecosystem.
In 2025 alone, RedBox expanded into 35 new cities, with a clear vision to achieve full national coverage. The company is also gearing up for regional expansion, with Bahrain, the UAE and Gulf countries as the next target markets, replicating its successful Saudi model to address growing demand for smart logistics in the wider GCC and MENA regions.
Altuwaiyan added: 'Over the next five years, we aim to expand our network to over 10,000 lockers across the region, introduce real-time locker-to-locker transfer capabilities, and become the preferred last-mile delivery partner for e-commerce and retail brands across the MENA region'.
Altuwaiyan explained that the company also aims to double its shipment volume, which stands at 10 million, over the next three years by accelerating the rollout of safes, deepening their market reach, and expanding into new sectors and geographies.
With over 1,800 retail partners and host locations, RedBox continues to invest heavily in R&D, digital infrastructure, and Saudi talent, reinforcing its leadership in smart logistics and its alignment with Vision 2030's pillars of innovation and sustainability under the leadership of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
By replacing traditional door-to-door delivery with smart lockers, RedBox is not only revolutionizing convenience but also helping eliminate millions of kilometers in courier travel, contributing to cleaner, less congested cities and a smarter, more sustainable logistics future.

Saudi Arabia To Introduce AI Curriculum Across All Public Schools Starting 2025
Saudi Arabia will roll out a comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) curriculum across all levels of public education beginning in the 2025–2026 academic year. The initiative, led by the National Curriculum Center in partnership with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, and the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), represents a major step in embedding AI literacy into the Kingdom's educational framework. The curriculum, which aligns with the goals of the Human Capability Development Program under Vision 2030, is designed to empower students from early education through higher learning with essential digital competencies and AI fluency. It aims to nurture a generation capable of driving innovation and positioning Saudi Arabia as a leader in emerging technologies. Students will be introduced to age-appropriate AI concepts through interactive and practical learning modules, ensuring continuity and progression throughout the educational journey, from primary school to vocational and university tracks, and into lifelong learning. AI learning outcomes will be formally incorporated into the national student performance assessment system. The new curriculum will instil core technical skills while fostering critical thinking and ethical understanding of AI. The announcement follows the successful pilot of an 'Introduction to Artificial Intelligence' course for third-year secondary students in the general track, unveiled earlier this year at the Human Capability Initiative conference. Developed collaboratively by SDAIA, the National Curriculum Centre, and the Ministry of Education, the pilot laid the groundwork for national implementation.

Expats To Soon Own Property In Saudi Arabia? Investors Cheer Landmark Move
In a game-changing move for global investors and expats, Saudi Arabia will allow non-nationals to buy property in designated zones starting January 2026, marking a major shift in the Kingdom's real estate landscape. The long-anticipated reform, approved by the Saudi Cabinet, is seen as part of the country's wider efforts to attract foreign investment, increase housing supply, and diversify its economy beyond oil. While full details are still being finalized, officials confirmed that non-Saudis will be permitted to own real estate in key cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, while ownership in Mecca and Medina will remain under special regulatory conditions. Investors with shareholding across major real estate firms benefitted, as stocks soared following the news. Retal Urban Development Co. and Saudi Real Estate Co. jumped over 5%, helping the Tadawul Real Estate Index hit its highest level since May. 'This move will likely have very positive and broad implications for multiple sectors in the kingdom, evaluate experts, with real estate developers, cement companies, and banks are all expected to benefit. The law is part of Saudi Arabia's broader real estate reform agenda, and was described by Majed Al Hogail, Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing, as 'a step forward in stimulating foreign direct investment (FDI) and supporting sustainable growth.' The Real Estate General Authority will oversee the process, identifying areas eligible for foreign ownership and setting out rules, which are expected to be released for public feedback within 180 days on the government's 'Istitlaa' platform. These rules will outline: Who qualifies to own property How to apply and register purchases Geographic zones open to foreign ownership Conditions for ownership in sensitive areas like Mecca and Medina The new law is set to take effect in January 2026. Executive regulations detailing the 'where, who, and how' will be shared within six months. Authorities say the policy has been designed with safeguards to protect Saudi citizen interests while encouraging global investor participation. The move builds on earlier efforts to open up the property market. In fact, Saudi Arabia recently allowed foreign investors to own shares in real estate firms operating in the holy cities — a sign the kingdom has been laying the groundwork for this broader reform.
