RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is once again pushing the boundaries of urban design with the launch of the New Murabba Development Company, which aims to build the world’s largest modern downtown in the Kingdom’s capital Riyadh.
The crown jewel of the planned development is The Mukaab, which means cube in Arabic. At 400 meters in height, 400 meters in width, and 400 meters in length, developers say the structure will be the largest inner-city building in the world.
Inside this gigantic cube, the exterior of which will be inspired by the region’s traditional Najdi architectural style, will be the world’s first immersive destination — created through digital and virtual technology with the latest holographics.
NEWSRAEL: Crown prince Mohamed Bin-Salman (MBS) is doing his best to present the world with a different, dynamic Islamic country. Whether he acheives his goal or not, the aim is to radically change the Arab mindset of Jihad, violence and intolerance. This is also behind his wish to bring about ties with Israel.
