Riyadh –  Emaar The Economic City has signed a framework cooperation agreement with the Tourism Development Fund, FTG Development Company, Albilad Investment Company, and Ekofine Holding BV to establish a SAR 1.8 billion closed and private investment fund.

The fund aims to develop and operate a five-star comprehensive resort and hotel with a water park and luxury overwater villas under the Rixos brand, according to a bourse disclosure on Sunday.
