Jubail Industrial City is a Saudi model that tells the story of planning combined with the will to achieve the comprehensive civic and industrial development seen today at all local, regional and international levels.

There is no doubt that the advanced infrastructure of Jubail is the cornerstone which has allowed the various industrial commercial and social sectors to establish themselves through integrated action.
Jubail infrastructure has the capability to operate continuously without failure of power or supplies in any of the existing facilities while meeting community requirements within modern, high living standards where all the necessities of life and tourist and recreational facilities are available.
However, work is still on to upgrade and expand the infrastructure to allow the private sector to participate in the growth and development of the city.
Additionally, Jubail has been able to attract the necessary Saudi operations and maintenance manpower, which has in turn, led to the establishment of a community from the various areas in Saudi Arabia. Jubail is indeed the result of the efforts of all the people of Saudi Arabia under its wise leadership.
