The Riyadh Mega Projects

With the huge explosion of growth in The Gulf an unprecedented construction boom is underway in Saudi Arabia! More and more multi-billion dollar Mega Projects are being planned and built including the world's largest Mega Project-- the $120Billion King Abdullah Economic City. It is estimated that the Saudi's will spend between $700Billion-$1Trillion on projects!

Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, is one of the epicenters for Saudi Mega Project development. Riyadh is the seat of government: ministries, embassies, diplomatic missions, as well as the financial, educational, cultural, technical, commercial and social capital of Saudi Arabia. As an important world capital, Riyadh receives an annual stream of businessmen, heads of state and public figures from the Western, Arab, Islamic and developing countries further underlining the city's increasingly pivotal role in Arab and global affairs.

In this post I will give you all of the Riyadh Mega Projects so you will understand just how much is going on there. In a future post I will cover the Jeddah Mega Projects, and Mega Projects going on in lesser known regions of Saudi Arabia. While so much of the world focuses on the UAE, there is plenty of exciting development taking place in Saudi Arabia! I have tried to be as accurate as possible with this list but there is always a chance that I missed a project or two. Feel free to email me or leave a comment if you have a Riyadh Mega Project that did not make the list.
