Saudi Arabia is set to have its biggest quality cultural, sports and entertainment city. With the laying of the foundation stone set for 2018, and a phase one launch set for 2022; the mega project — which will be the first of its kind in the world — will be built on area of 334 square kilometers, including a major safari area, in Al Qidiya, southwest of Riyadh.
The announcement was made by the Kingdom’s Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Public Investment Fund which will be the project’s main investor along with a number of local and international counterparts.
Commenting on the announcement, Prince Mohammed said that this city will become “a prominent cultural landmark and an important center for meeting the future generation’s recreational, cultural and social needs in the Kingdom.”
The Deputy Crown Prince explained that this ambitious project comes within the framework of plans to support Vision 2030 by creating quality and distinctive investments within the Kingdom that serve the country and the citizens. It also contributes to diversifying the sources of national income, boosting the Saudi economy and creating more job opportunities for young people.
The Deputy Crown Prince said that the project is an important incentive to attract visitors as the capital of future adventures and will be their first and preferred choice for offering a number of carefully chosen and selected activities, designed with the latest international standards to achieve a healthy and harmonious life, and provide more entertainment, joy and fun. The project is expected to include the entertainment city of Six Flags as one of the main attractions of the project.
