Why Saudi Arabia Is Building A Giant Cube: The Mukaab

Saudi Arabia has finally started construction on its ambitious project called the Mukaab. It's a massive cube-shaped skyscraper, 400 meters high, wide, and long, that will be the highlight of the New Murabba district in Riyadh. When completed, this cube will establish itself as a city landmark, boasting a dome 20 times larger than the one at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas. Saudi Arabia is also working on NEOM, which includes a series of projects like The Line, Oxagon, Trojena, Sindalah, and the recently announced Magna region. The Public Investment Fund (PIF) has already started laying the foundation for the Mukaab, with a reported 5 million cubic meters of earth already excavated. In addition, the kingdom has also announced the construction of New Murabba Stadium, which will have a capacity of 45,000 spectators set to be completed in 2032 and used in the 2034 FIFA World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

Tbh, I've been recently to Saudi Arabia and passed by some of the construction projects and folks are really serious about this, aka construction is non stopping and population itself seem very decent and energetic, which is something that you don't often see in other parts of the world nowadays. Well, best of luck for Saudis and I do plan to visit again once a very big project is finished to check updates.

اذا بدئنا بالمشروع: بيفشل المشروع 😂
اذا خلصنا المشروع: استخدموا عبيد 😒

Its very difficult or to say even impossible to fund and get these projects completed. Because the oil price is low nowadays and funding these projects is very very difficult. Also, its creatively impossible to execute such projects like The Line, Mukaab and Oxagon etc as they are unique projects that have been never done before. It will take Saudi Arabia monumental time to complete these projects if they ever get through the excavating phase. Good luck to them.

Space pods and flying dragons = great way to spend that oil money, definitely better than say building nuclear power plants

Imagine what will go on in the centre of that cube

How much are the non existent flying vehicles?

No one wants to go to Saudi Arabia especially to live there

It will fail because it cannot afford major maintenance work.
