Saudi Is Going To Bankrupt Dubai

Saudi Arabia is planning to build a 2km skyscraper in Riyadh that would become the world’s tallest building, according to reports by MEED.

The proposed tower will be more than double the height of the world’s tallest building – Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, which is 828 meter's tall.

Saudi Arabia may be weighing in on plans for a 2-kilometer-tall, world's tallest tower, for its 18-square-kilometer master-planned area in the capital city of Riyadh.

The proposed skyscraper will be more than twice as tall as Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which stands at 828 meters and is currently the tallest building in the world, according to a report published by Middle East business intelligence (MEED) magazine on Wednesday.

Dubai is the country that treats its visitors with dignity and respect ..no one can match this hospitality

[NeilLindsaySutherland]

It doesn’t matter what people say, dubai will always be remembered for its great hospitality towards foreigners.

I am still waiting for the Bankrupt part.

Do you know the United Arab Emirates: “no”

Do you know Dubai: “yes”

As the prophet saw. said... They gonna battle who builds the better buildings, what a prophecy

[nuhuman]

Saudi Arabia is more likely to go bankrupt due to such impractical projects.

Saudi has a long way to go to reach dubai, dubai is a 100 times more transparent than saudi, the ease of doing business in Dubai is million times better than saudi, the local citizens are held responsible for thier actions in Dubai, this is not so in Saudi.

[MhairieLuv]

Citizens’ attitude is the number one key. I’d rather spent a day free in Dubai than a 100 days free in Saudi Arabia.

[imacarguy]

If I was forced to choose between the two, I'd go with Dubai.

One restaurant could only take cash and gave me and my wife dinner for free no problem they said. However I did go back and pay cash but it just showed the genuine believe in human kind they are there

[thedon]

Bullshit😂😂😂 The LINE just had to cancel 98% (!!) of its planned size! 😂😂😂

[albertmascarenhas]

Dubai and Saudi peoples have a lots of difference in treating outsiders, Dubai's citizens are more friendly and adjustable nature

[aaaviation]

Saudi Arabia bankrupting Dubai is a laughable notion. Dubai will always be a more desirable destination by far, doesn’t matter what Saudi does

[mohamedrafiqrajani]

The culture and lifestyle of Dubai is far better than Saudi Arabia. It's foolish to think that having tall and luxury buildings could bankrupt Dubai

Narrated Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu): Allah’s Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “The Hour will not be established till …the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings…” [Sahih Bukhari]

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) told us that “you shall see barefoot, naked, penniless shepherds vying in constructing high buildings.”(Sahih Muslim) This hadith describes people who become rich all of a sudden and then build not for need but only in competition.

Another Prophecy completing now.

Buildings don’t make a country successful chodo, good governance does. Dubai is run and will be run successfully by the liberal minded, advanced thinking, very capable Royal Family and will never be seconded to any other country. Period

[prachisingh]

Its not important how tall your building or developed city, it’s important how humble, freedom and respect for others. In dubai it’s there all.

[andrewrobinson]

I worked for 16 years in Saudi Arabia. What is promised and what is delivered is often different, but good luck.

[darkocvetic]

They will never be as beautiful and fun as Europe is no matter what they build. They still lack other things!
