Paying tribute to legendary Saudi poet HRH Prince Badr bin Abdul Mohsen, Dubai’s new airport plans, and much more

The co-hosts of TWENTY30 catch up and discuss Lucien's recent hectic week spent in a hospital in Georgetown, Washington, DC.

Next, Hanaa Almoaibed adds her voice to the outpouring of deep condolences to the family of HRH Prince Badr bin Abdul Mohsin, who died on May 4th, as well as condolences to her fellow Saudis and anyone whose lives he has touched. 

HRH Prince Badr bin Abdul Mohsin was the president of the Saudi Society for Culture and Arts since 1973. He was only 75 when he died in Paris after battling cancer. He was an intellectual and he had a deep seated love for literature and poetry.

His loss is felt widely in the Arabic-speaking world.

Hanaa notes that he had “this incredible ability to craft poetry that articulated the emotions of love and longing and feelings, in such a talented manner.”

Rest in peace.

Then, the co-hosts discuss some of the latest news, including BlackRocks big moves in Saudi Arabia recently, Dubai's incredible new airport plans, a China-based food delivery app entering the Saudi market, and more.

The hosts conclude with Hanaa's Arabic word of the day, one that could have benefited Lucien when in Riyadh last week.
