Amazon.com Inc. is adding several jobs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, signaling Jeff Bezos’s desire to expand in the country following a closely watched meeting with the crown prince.

Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman met with Amazon’s chief executive officer in Seattle last week. The 32-year-old heir apparent to the throne had planned to discuss a potential project with the Ministry of Energy for Amazon to build a data center in the country, which would be the first in the Middle East for the world’s largest cloud provider, Bloomberg reported last week.
