Saudi Arabia is planning to open its first alcohol store in its capital, Riyadh, exclusively for non-Muslim diplomats, Reuters reported. The first-of-its-kind store is a deliberate move by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to open the ultra-conservative Muslim country to tourism. Customers need to register through a mobile app, obtain a clearance code from the foreign ministry, and adhere to monthly purchase quotas.
