Saudi Arabia is trying to hold the annual "Davos Sahara" investment conference in Riyadh despite the Houthi attacks. Diplomatic sources told Agence France-Presse that the organizers could also attend the meeting virtually. In addition, alternative air and land routes for travel to Riyadh were considered. In recent weeks, Houthi attacks in Yemen on Saudi airports and oil facilities have canceled many flights. Every year, Saudi Arabia's "Future Investment Initiative" hosts a forum called "Davos in the Desert", which usually brings together foreign leaders and prominent figures from the business world. This year's forum is scheduled to take place between October 26 and 29 in Riyadh. Diplomatic sources said the organizers contacted foreign embassies and companies to explore options for a combined event to avoid canceling the event. AFP via Getty Images.
