Red Sea Global Introduces Bear Grylls Survival Academy to Saudi Arabia

Red Sea Global brings the world-famous adventure and survival brand to Saudi Arabia. The collaboration is aligned with RSG’s commitment to offer inclusive and sustainable adventure experiences for all.

Red Sea Global (RSG), the multi-project developer behind The Red Sea and Amaala, has announced bringing Bear Grylls Survival Academy (BGSA), the world-famous survival and adventure brand to Saudi Arabia.

The partnership promises to offer outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to learn key team building, wilderness education and survival skills on a variety of course options, all of which have been designed by Bear Grylls himself. It also opens the possibility to collaborate on accessible opportunities including physical and mental wellbeing programs alongside RSG’s adventure sports brand Akun.

“Bear Grylls is known the world over for his exhilarating and adrenaline-pumping adventures in nature’s most challenging environments. Yet, always at the heart of these exploits is the central message that nature plays a profound role in shaping us as people – instilling strength, resilience, self-belief and teamwork. We believe that everyone should have the chance to follow their sense of adventure and will work with the Bear Grylls Survival Academy team to develop outdoor experiences for all, whether adults or young people, and irrespective of physical and cognitive ability,” said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global.

Paul Gardiner, BGSA Managing Director, said: “From its steep mountains to its deep wadi valleys, across sand dunes, canyons and coastlines, The Red Sea in Saudi Arabia has some of the most diverse natural environments we’ve ever seen. We look forward to developing a series of BGSA’s signature challenges and assets that allow people to test and ultimately overcome their own limits and expectations. The fact that Red Sea Global has pledged to make this a wholly inclusive guest experience aligns perfectly with the Academy’s mission to bring a sense of achievement and the principle of Never Give Up to as many people as we can.”
