Ibn Saud is trending today!
Why Ibn Saud is Trending:
In the heart of Riyadh's evolving landscape, whispers of reform swirl around Saudi Arabia's foundational legacy tied to Ibn Saud, the visionary founder whose ironclad Wahhabi principles once enshrined a 73-year alcohol ban, now dramatically upended. Trending fiercely amid headlines of a new public prosecutor, Dr. Khalid Al Yousef—a judicial reform champion—stepping into power, the kingdom quietly unveils legal liquor sales for wealthy, premium-residency expats, shattering taboos linked to Vision 2030's bold modernization. As Prince William lands amid royal welcomes and Diriyah gears up for the AFC Asian Cup 2027 draw, netizens buzz over Ibn Saud's enduring shadow: how his austere empire, forged in conquest, now bends to affluent foreign tastes, igniting global debates on tradition versus transformation in the land he unified a century ago.
