Exclusive glimpses of a country re-inventing itself
Spiegel reporter Susanne Koelbl was able to embark on a project few other journalists have managed to do: travel through Saudi Arabia without any restrictions and with no state supervision. She spent several months roaming around a country going through the most far-reaching period of transition in its history. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aims to catapult society and the business world into the modern age, while in spite of all the reforms the royal family cracks down relentlessly on anyone seen as a dissident.
In which direction will Saudi Arabia continue to develop? How do women and artists, opposition members and deeply religious Moslems view the break with old traditions and certainties?
Susanne Koelbl gives us fascinating glimpses of a country whose future is of the utmost importance for the region and indeed the West.
