This is one of the many achievements and firsts Saudi women have been conquering this year, they’re showing the rest of the country and the world that there is nothing unattainable for women in the kingdom and other parts of the world, once they put their minds to it. They might even be the key players in putting Vision 2030 in full action, the plan set and led by KSA’s crown prince MBS.
