Wall Street Journal: Bin Salman builds “pyramids” that will soon rise in the desert
The Wall Street Journal revealed a major achievement awaiting Saudi Arabia that would provide great investment opportunities for the country, in addition to providing an additional source of income outside the oil sources.
The source indicated that if the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman fulfills his dream in this project, a city worth about $ 500 billion will soon rise in the middle of the desert.
The Wall Street Journal confirmed that the NEOM project, which Saudi Arabia is currently building, provides the country with great investment opportunities by attracting billions of dollars, which will be a great opportunity for the Kingdom to reduce its dependence on oil resources.
The report indicated that despite the slight delay in implementation processes, there is a mass exodus of workers to this project in order to implement the “Saudi dream”.
According to the source, employees and engineers are working hard to dig a center of about half a mile (30 floors), next to a mountain, where this hole will turn into an oasis that includes a wide range of hotels and residential areas.
Other engineers are working on the construction of 10 charming palaces, each one larger than the size of a football field, according to the source.
The project has attracted more than 50 different modern designs, each offering a fresh and contemporary vision for the area.
The source noted that Bin Salman asked employees in one of the meetings to present “bolder” ideas in order to obtain a distinguished job, and the source noted that the Saudi prince reinforced this vision with a phrase he said in one of the meetings summarizing his vision for this project, which he considered should be tantamount to The pyramids of Saudi Arabia are uniqueness and uniqueness in the world.
The Saudi Crown Prince and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Neom, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, announced last January the launch of the “The Line” city in Neom, which is an unparalleled model for developing future cities in harmony with nature.
This city represents an innovative civilized environment whose societies are managed entirely by relying on artificial intelligence technologies, as it provides a living that is based on a balance between a business environment that incubates innovation and an exceptional quality of life.
The Saudi Crown Prince said that the Line project in NEOM will provide 180,000 job opportunities.
A Saudi statement confirmed that the construction of this project will start in the first quarter of 2021, and it is expected that it will contribute about 48 billion dollars to the Kingdom’s gross domestic product and provide 380 thousand job opportunities.
It is also mentioned that the project is an environment free of vehicles and roads, and it is expected that the farthest journey on “The Line” will not take 20 minutes.
In addition, communities will be virtually interconnected with each other, as about 90% of the data will be harnessed to enhance the capabilities of the infrastructure, while 1% of the data will be harnessed in the current smart cities.
