Saudi Arabia's Lucid Air sets world record with 1,205km drive on a single charge
The record-breaking drive was completed last weekend by the Lucid Air Grand Touring, travelling from St. Moritz, Switzerland to Munich, Germany, and included alpine roads, highways, and secondary roads.
The journey beat the previous world record of 1,045km, set in June 2025, by a margin of 160 kilometres.
Saudi-backed Lucid Air sets EV world record
Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid, said: 'This range record represents a significant milestone – it's yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid.
'Our Lucid products combine world class vehicle efficiency with the most advanced drive units, ultra-high voltage architecture, and battery management technology available today, which lets a Lucid travel further with less energy than any other vehicles.'
At the core of the Lucid Air Grand Touring's success is its ultra-efficient electric powertrain, boasting:
WLTP range of 960km
Energy efficiency of 13.5 kWh/100km
831 PS and a top speed of 270 kmph
Ultra-fast charging: 400km added in just 16 minutes
This latest achievement marks the second successful Guinness World Record involving Lucid and Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur with a passion for EV endurance challenges.
In 2024, Sabanci set the record for most countries visited on a single charge — crossing nine nations in a Lucid Air Grand Touring.
'When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning,' said Sabanci.
'This new achievement proves that electric mobility isn't just the future — it's already redefining what's possible today.'

Gamers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey most affected by malware campaign
Gamers in the Middle East have been heavily hit by a malware campaign that promotes fake beta versions of video games, cyber security experts have warned. Consumers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey have been the most impacted by the campaign, according to cyber protection company Acronis. Its threat research group said malware is spreading through the use of Discord, a video, audio and texting platform popular with gamers around the world. The campaign pretends to promote beta versions of games titled Baruda Quest, Warstorm Fire and Dire Talon, but they are actually software that steals personal information and payment, login and crypto wallet data. 'This underscores the urgent need for awareness among regional gamers who are particularly active on platforms like Discord, where much of the malicious content is distributed,' Acronis said in a statement. Jozsef Gegeny, a senior researcher at the cyber security company, said that unlike most malware campaigns, this one also targets people considered to have decent technical knowledge. While corporations and organisations have ramped up cyber security, not enough of that messaging is reaching recreational technology users, he said. 'That's why it's important for the cybersecurity community to shine a light on threats that target individuals and not just corporations,' he said. 'This campaign shows that even well-informed users can be tricked.' The Middle East is particularly vulnerable to attacks due to the recent and rapid increase in video game popularity, making it one of the fastest-growing gaming markets. In 2020, the Middle East gaming industry was valued at approximately $4.8 billion, according to market research firm Newzoo. Five years later, Acronis said, that figure has climbed to more than $7 billion. In February, Power League Gaming chief executive Matthew Pickering said the region's high percentage of young people is helping the industry flourish, but it is also winning over the older demographic as a way to build confidence and sharpen analytical skills. 'Esports is now a solid career path,' he said. It is not yet clear who is responsible for spreading malware targeting the gaming community, but Acronis said it was first detected in the US and Brazil. The company added that the campaign is taking advantage of gamers' appetite to stay ahead of the curve. 'This campaign exploits the enthusiasm of the gaming community, particularly those eager to access unreleased or early-access content,' it said.

Saudi Arabia publishes new law allowing foreigners to own property
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia has officially published the full details of its new law regulating real estate ownership by non-Saudis, following Cabinet approval earlier this month. The comprehensive law, released in the official gazette Umm Al-Qura on Friday, will take effect 180 days from publication and marks a major overhaul in the Kingdom's approach to foreign ownership of property. The new system grants non-Saudis — including individuals, companies, and non-profit entities — the right to own property or obtain other real rights over real estate within designated geographic zones to be determined by the Cabinet. These rights include usufruct (beneficial use), leaseholds, and other real estate interests, but will be subject to a range of controls and restrictions based on location, property type, and usage. The law preserves all real estate rights that were legally established for non-Saudis prior to the new regulation taking effect. However, it clearly states that ownership remains prohibited in certain locations and regions, notably in Makkah and Madinah, except under conditions for individual Muslim owners. A key provision in the law requires the Council of Ministers — upon a proposal by the Real Estate General Authority and with the approval of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs — to define the allowable zones for foreign ownership and set upper limits on ownership percentages and durations for usufruct rights. Foreign individuals legally residing in Saudi Arabia may own one residential property outside restricted areas for personal housing purposes. This does not apply to Makkah and Madinah. The regulation also includes provisions for corporate ownership. Non-listed companies with foreign shareholders, as well as investment funds and licensed special-purpose entities, will be permitted to acquire real estate throughout the Kingdom, including in Makkah and Madinah, provided the ownership supports operational needs or employee housing. Listed companies and investment vehicles may also acquire property in line with Saudi financial market regulations. Diplomatic missions and international organizations can also own premises for official use and residence of their representatives, subject to Foreign Ministry approval and reciprocity conditions. To ensure compliance, non-Saudi entities must register with the competent authority before acquiring property. Ownership or real rights become valid only after formal registration in the national real estate registry. The law introduces a real estate transfer fee of up to 5% for transactions involving non-Saudis, and outlines a penalty framework for violations. Sanctions include fines up to SR10 million and, in severe cases such as falsified information, the forced sale of the property with proceeds remitted to the state after deductions. A dedicated committee under the Real Estate General Authority will be formed to investigate violations and impose penalties. Decisions of this committee can be appealed to the administrative courts within 60 days. Additionally, the law repeals a prior rule that prohibited GCC citizens from owning property in Makkah and Madinah, effectively standardizing rules for all non-Saudi entities under a single framework. The executive regulations, which will detail implementation mechanisms and specify geographic boundaries and conditions, are expected to be issued within six months. The new law replaces the previous foreign property ownership legislation issued under Royal Decree No. M/15 in 2000. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette. All Rights Reserved.

Gold drops as dollar firms, trade deal hopes sap safe-haven demand
Gold prices slipped on Friday, weighed down by a stronger U.S. dollar and signs of progress in U.S.-EU trade negotiations that dented safe-haven demand. Spot gold fell 0.7% at $3,343.69 per ounce by 9:31 a.m. ET (1331 GMT). U.S. gold futures fell 0.8% to $3,345.20. The U.S. dollar index rebounded from a more-than-two-week low, making bullion more expensive for overseas buyers, while benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose. "The Japan deal was significant, and there's hope for a U.S.-EU agreement before the August 1 deadline. That's sapping safe-haven demand as elevated risk appetite drives capital toward risk assets," said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals. Following this week's U.S.-Japan trade deal, the European Commission said a trade deal with the U.S. is within reach, even as EU members approved counter-tariffs on U.S. goods in case talks fail. On the data front, U.S. jobless claims fell to a three-month low, signaling a stable labor market despite sluggish hiring. Stable labor market data is expected to give the Federal Reserve cover to hold rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% at its meeting next week, even as inflation shows signs of picking up due to U.S. President Donald Trump's import tariffs. Trump's surprise visit to the central bank marked a fresh attempt to pressure Chair Jerome Powell, with the President again urging a deep rate cut. Gold may attract some "buying interest probably at $3,300 level, but perhaps not breaking out to new all-time highs until after the Fed decision," Grant said, adding that the meeting could signal rate cuts later this year. Gold typically performs well during periods of uncertainty and in low-interest-rate environments. Spot silver fell 0.4% to $38.91 per ounce, but was still on track for a weekly gain of about 2%. Platinum was 1.6% lower at $1,385.20, while palladium rose 0.2% at $1,229.94.
