AWS Launch in Saudi Arabia

AWS has indeed announced plans to launch an infrastructure region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, the specific timeline for this launch is not as detailed as you're hoping for. As of now, AWS has only stated that the Saudi Arabia Region is planned to be launched by 2026. There is no publicly available information about a specific month within 2026 for the launch.

While waiting for the full region to become available, there are some AWS services already accessible in Saudi Arabia that might be relevant to your situation:

1. AWS Outposts: As of April 2024, AWS Outposts can be shipped and installed at customer datacenters and on-premises locations in Saudi Arabia. This allows you to use AWS services to run your workloads and data in-country in your on-premises facilities while connecting to the nearest AWS Region for management and operations.

2. Amazon CloudFront: As of January 2025, AWS has launched a new Amazon CloudFront edge location in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This brings content delivery network (CDN) capabilities closer to end-users in the country.

These services might help you start your AWS journey while waiting for the full region to launch. However, it's important to note that deploying AWS Outposts in Saudi Arabia may require additional authorization, so you should contact an AWS Sales Representative for more detailed information.

For the most up-to-date information on the Saudi Arabia Region launch, it's recommended to keep an eye on AWS's official announcements and to discuss your specific needs with an AWS representative.
