The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has unveiled The Mukaab, a 400-metre-high, wide and long indoor super-city in the heart of Riyadh. The PIF-backed giga-project, which is large enough to house 20 Empire State Buildings, is hoped to become a new global icon of technology, sustainability, mobility, and Saudi innovation.
The Mukaab is located in the heart of the larger New Murabba Development, which was founded by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Prime Minister and Chairman of the New Murabba Development Company (NMDC), to see the project through to completion.
Another giga project in #SaudiArabia🇸🇦👏🏼
“A gateway to another world: #TheMukaab will be the world’s first immersive, experiential destination. Large enough to hold 20 Empire State Buildings.”
