Great view, in my options Oxagon seems more practical than others

Saudi Arabia plans to be one of the most important tourist countries in the world in 2030, and this is a great challenge and a great opportunity as well, because the Saudis are among the people of the world who travel the most and spend more on foreign tourism, because there is no strong tourism structure in their country. Therefore, a plan was born to diversify the government’s economy, and one of the most important sectors to diversify the economy of Saudi Arabia are projects Tourism gigantic, and certainly without innovation and comparative advantages, the goals of attracting domestic and foreign tourists will not be achieved. Among its most important projects:
1. Central Jeddah Project: The idea began with investing in the military area that was located in the center of Jeddah and turning it into an urban area where all civilized, touristic, residential, sports and cultural services are available. It is a landmark that competes with the most beautiful coastal cities in the world and wants to be distinguished by its Hijazi architecture (Al-Rawashin).
Because it does not want to be a copy of Dubai, almost all the elements of Dubai are present in Jeddah, but Jeddah is distinguished by its presence between the two most important sacred cities for a quarter of the world's population, and this is an advantage that Dubai will not be able to match Jeddah in.

2. The Red Sea Islands Project: It is called by the Saudis the Saudi Maldives for its beauty, but it is characterized by many advantages such as dormant volcanoes, the large number of coral reefs and marine organisms, and the presence of archaeological areas near them, such as Mada’in Saleh. marine, coral reefs etc..
The project has great challenges, such as relying entirely on clean energy, preserving the sustainability of the place, preserving the environment, marine organisms and coral reefs, and innovation in designing the project and the tourism services that are held in it, to be one of the most prominent tourism projects in the world.

3. Diriyah Project: It is a project for the largest cultural city in the world, and cultural and sporting events will be held in it, and among the most important events there will be the Formula E race and the Boxing World Cup.

4. Qiddiya Project: It is the largest entertainment city in the world and aims to break records in some of its games to distinguish it from other entertainment cities.

5. Amaala Project: It is a luxury tourism project for health and recreation, and it will be a sister project to the Red Sea Islands project

6. Al Souda Company project: aims to develop the natural cities area in Abha and Rijal Alma by developing the tourism infrastructure to be more competitive with the most important natural cities in Europe.

7. Al-Ula Development Project: It is a large project that follows the Prime Ministry directly to transform the sleepy city rich in antiquities into one of the most important tourist cities in the world. You can say it is the jewel of Saudi Arabia, Therefore, work is underway to provide the city's infrastructure, plans to preserve and sustain the place, preserve monuments, and build many tourism services such as hospitality, residential accommodation, and festivals.
One of its most important projects is a journey through time, which is a tram project that connects the ancient Arab civilizations and provides its services from the establishment of academies, institutes, tourist, archaeological, educational, cultural and artistic exhibitions and other tourism services in the stations of civilizations to be the largest living museum in the world and the tourist experience is rich by taking you back to the ages ancient oases in AlUla

8. The King Abdulaziz Road project in Makkah aims to improve the quality of life in Makkah and provide a strong structure to attract 30 million pilgrims and Umrah performers annually. It is a civilized area with services such as:
A large hospital, a huge mall, housing services for residents and guests, ease of transportation from them to the Grand Mosque by metro, and a beautiful track line from the road to the Grand Mosque, etc..

Amazing project wouldn’t mind to live there for a while as an experience 🧐

[itsonlyxmabloxburg]

The neom project building will actually not pollute because i know a person that works there that told me it will use different building techniques and in 2030 the line will not be completed only a part of it that will be open while the other part will be finished later

Stop promoting tech extremisim, this is absolutly hearbreaking and will not be tolerated in 2023

[jsansing]

Sounds more like a hundred trillion plus. Interesting

[visho]

For some unknown reason, this doesn't excite me at all. After seeing how well built yet non ecological, and expensive to keep running Dubai is, I feel more gravitated towards simple places which seem more in tune and compatible with the landscape. It's nice to see a huge concrete tower in the middle of the sand of the desert but once you've seen it, you somehow don't admire or like it as much.

Apologies, US state can't be directly within Saudi but is adjacent, some months are in India

[rayanchenafa]

[Continentalmunkey]

Saudi may not be on UNSC but has some veto rights on passport issuing authorities but european union ones default to germany-russia

[allanocleasa]

How can Saudi Arabia be the World's Tourist Attraction if they're so Tight to their Religion/Culture?., Almost everything are Beware in this Country?

[ianh]

They should focus on creating sewerage waste management systems that's non existent in Dubai.
