About House of Saud
House of Saud is the leading independent English-language publication dedicated to the Saudi royal family and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Founded to provide comprehensive, authoritative coverage of the world’s most powerful royal family and one of the most consequential nations in global geopolitics, we publish in-depth profiles, analysis, news coverage, and intelligence on Saudi Arabia’s political landscape, economic transformation, defence policy, and cultural evolution.
Our publication exists because Saudi Arabia demands specialist attention. The Kingdom sits at the intersection of global energy, Middle Eastern security, Islamic leadership, and an unprecedented economic transformation. The House of Saud — the royal family that governs it — is central to all of these dynamics. We provide the sustained, expert coverage that this subject requires.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be the definitive English-language resource on the House of Saud and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
We fill a critical gap in international media coverage. While major outlets cover Saudi Arabia episodically — responding to crises or headline events — we provide sustained, specialist attention to a country and royal family that shapes global energy markets, Middle Eastern security, Islamic affairs, and increasingly, the worlds of global entertainment, sport, and technology.
Our coverage spans five core areas:
- The Saudi Royal Family — profiles, succession dynamics, and the internal power structures of the House of Saud
- Vision 2030 and Economic Transformation — tracking the Kingdom’s ambitious programme to diversify its economy and reshape Saudi society
- Defence and Security Policy — military procurement, strategic partnerships, and regional security
- Geopolitics and Diplomacy — Saudi Arabia’s role in the Middle East and on the global stage
- Saudi Society and Cultural Change — the social dimensions of the Kingdom’s transformation
Editorial Independence
House of Saud is editorially independent. We have no financial relationship with the Saudi government, the royal family, or any Saudi government-linked entity. Our editorial decisions are made solely by our editorial team based on newsworthiness, public interest, and journalistic merit.
We are not funded by, affiliated with, or beholden to any government, political party, or commercial interest that could compromise our editorial integrity. This independence is fundamental to our credibility and to the trust our readers place in our reporting.
Our revenue is generated through advertising and direct reader support — sources that carry no editorial obligations.
Our Team
House of Saud is produced by a small editorial team with deep expertise in Saudi Arabian affairs and Gulf geopolitics.
Mohammed Omar — Senior Editor and Lead Analyst
Mohammed Omar leads editorial operations and serves as the publication’s principal analyst on Saudi political dynamics. He specialises in royal family succession, intra-family power structures, and Gulf geopolitics. Mohammed brings years of regional expertise and a deep understanding of Saudi Arabia’s political landscape to every piece we publish. His work on royal family profiles and succession analysis forms the backbone of the publication’s coverage.
Abdul Mohammed — Contributing Editor
Abdul Mohammed focuses on Vision 2030, Saudi economic policy, defence procurement, and the Kingdom’s international relations. His background in Middle Eastern affairs provides critical context for understanding Saudi Arabia’s transformation from an oil-dependent economy to a diversified global player. Abdul’s analysis of defence partnerships and economic reform has become essential reading for professionals tracking Saudi Arabia’s evolution.
What We Cover
Our coverage is organised around the subjects that matter most to understanding Saudi Arabia and its royal family.
Royal Family Profiles
Comprehensive profiles of every significant member of the House of Saud, from the sons of the Kingdom’s founder, King Abdulaziz ibn Abdul Rahman Al Saud, to the current generation of princes and princesses shaping Saudi Arabia’s future. Each profile draws on official records, credible reporting, and regional expertise to provide the most complete English-language account available.
Saudi Royal Family Tree
The most detailed English-language genealogy of the Saudi royal family. Our interactive family tree maps the dynastic relationships, maternal lineages, and generational shifts that determine succession and political influence within the House of Saud.
News and Analysis
Timely coverage of Saudi political developments, diplomatic moves, and policy changes. We combine breaking news reporting with the contextual analysis that only specialist coverage can provide — explaining not just what happened, but why it matters and what it signals.
Vision 2030 Tracking
Ongoing monitoring and analysis of Saudi Arabia’s economic transformation programme. We track megaproject developments, policy milestones, investment flows, and the social reforms that accompany the Kingdom’s economic diversification.
Defence and Security
Coverage of Saudi military procurement, security policy, and regional security dynamics. From arms deals and defence partnerships to the Kingdom’s evolving strategic posture in the Middle East and beyond.
Our Approach
We combine rigorous research with accessible writing. Our goal is to produce journalism that is useful to specialists — diplomats, analysts, executives, and academics — while remaining clear and engaging for general readers seeking to understand Saudi Arabia.
Our reporting draws on:
- Official Saudi government sources, including royal decrees, ministerial statements, and the Saudi Press Agency
- Court records and official genealogical sources
- Credible international media reporting
- Academic research and published scholarship on Saudi Arabia
- Regional expertise and informed analysis
Every article undergoes editorial review for accuracy, fairness, and balance. We distinguish clearly between factual reporting and analysis or commentary, and we correct errors promptly and transparently when they occur.

Our Reach
House of Saud serves readers in over 100 countries. Our audience includes diplomats, journalists, researchers, business executives, policy analysts, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Saudi Arabia and its royal family.

Publication History
House of Saud was established as a specialist publication recognising the need for dedicated, expert English-language coverage of the Saudi royal family. No other publication offered the depth of coverage that the subject demanded — a royal family of thousands, governing a nation at the centre of global energy, security, and religious affairs.
What began as a collection of royal family profiles has grown into a comprehensive news and intelligence portal covering all aspects of Saudi Arabia’s political, economic, and social transformation. As the Kingdom itself has evolved — with Vision 2030 reshaping the economy, a generational shift in leadership, and Saudi Arabia’s expanding role on the global stage — our coverage has expanded to match.
Today, House of Saud is recognised as an authoritative source on the Saudi royal family and the Kingdom’s affairs, serving a global readership that continues to grow as international attention on Saudi Arabia intensifies.
