tesla announces upcoming saudi arabia debut on april 10

Tesla is expanding operations further across the Middle East with an upcoming move into Saudi Arabia. The company shared the news of the April 10 Riyadh debut on its website, hinting at a showcase of its latest innovations but leaving out key details about when its vehicles and energy products will be available for purchase.

“Explore our global bestselling lineup and step into a world powered by solar energy, sustained by batteries, and driven by electric vehicles. Experience the future of autonomous driving with Cybercab, and meet Optimus, our humanoid robot, as we showcase what’s next in AI and robotics,” Tesla stated in its announcement.

The Saudi launch comes at a time when Tesla is grappling with declining EV sales in key markets. Data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) shows that Tesla’s European sales have dropped by 42.6% this year. In China, the company’s February sales of locally produced EVs fell by 49.2% year-over-year to 30,688 units — the lowest monthly figure since August 2022.

Beyond sales struggles, Tesla has also faced political backlash in the U.S. Protests erupted after CEO Elon Musk took on an advisory role in the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump and supported sweeping federal government budget cuts.

Tesla’s presence in the Gulf region isn’t new: The company has operated in the UAE since 2017 and also has a dealership in Qatar. The Saudi launch follows another recent international push — Tesla signed a lease to open its first showroom in Mumbai as part of its strategy to enter the Indian market.

Saudi Arabia’s interest in Tesla aligns with the Kingdom’s broader push toward sustainability and economic diversification away from oil. The country aims to transition 30% of Riyadh’s vehicles to electric by 2030, contributing to a broader goal of reducing the capital’s emissions by 50%.

Saudi Arabia is also investing heavily in its own EV industry, with companies like CEER, Foxconn, and Lucid Motors playing key roles in its domestic manufacturing ambitions. The country’s sovereign wealth fund holds a majority stake in Lucid Group, positioning the startup as a potential Tesla rival in the years to come.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine

Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.

a three-clinic network bets dubai is ready for longevity medicine

Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.

Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.

“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.

The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.

The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
