About this episode

Depuis 2016, l’Arabie Saoudite s’est lancée dans une vaste entreprise de modernisation. Modernisation de son économie : elle cherche à être moins dépendante du pétrole et mise sur le développement du tourisme, de nouvelles technologies. Mais modernisation de sa société également : levée de bon nombre de restrictions faites aux femmes, assouplissement des règles religieuses. Le plan, baptisé Vision 2030, est porté par Mohammed ben Salman, prince héritier et dirigeant de facto du pays.

Et sa réalisation dicte aujourd’hui l’action du gouvernement, que ce soient les réformes sur la scène intérieure ou les tentatives d’apaiser les tensions régionales. Alors quel est ce nouveau visage d’un pays jusque-là très fermé ?

« La 'nouvelle Arabie Saoudite' dont rêve Mohammed ben Salman », un Grand reportage de Guilhem Delteil.
