In the northwest of Saudi Arabia’s AlUla region stands Maraya, a polished, mirror building that proves the raw desert can support surprising architecture. With its entire exterior covered in 9,740 square meters of reflective panels, Maraya holds the Guinness World Record as the largest mirrored building on Earth. It functions as a 500-seat concert hall and event venue where internationally recognized performers and cultural gatherings take place against the backdrop of the surrounding sandstone canyon.
Saudi Arabia has commenced large-scale construction activities on THE LINE, a planned linear urban development that forms the central component of the NEOM project in the country’s northwest. The project is a flagship initiative under the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 programme, which aims to diversify the economy and reduce long-term reliance on oil revenues through infrastructure, technology, and urban development investments.
With the limited amount of NEOM News around we have resorted to report on hidden toilet tanks. At least there's a Vision 2030 connection.
Saudi Arabia's concealed cistern market is growing at a consistent pace, fueled by several factors. More homeowners are upgrading their bathrooms, and there's an increase in high-end residential construction projects. People are also increasingly choosing space-saving bathroom fixtures. The market is getting an additional boost from the overall growth in construction activities and the expansion of the hospitality sector.
Saudi Arabia's tourism industry is undergoing a remarkable evolution, propelling the country into the spotlight as a major destination for global travelers. This swift development is the result of strategic government initiatives and partnerships with international entities, all aimed at reshaping the future of worldwide tourism.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is pushing ahead with one of the most aggressive aviation expansions of the decade, even as some of his most famous mega-projects like THE LINE and TROJENA are quietly being scaled back. While parts of NEOM’s original vision are being reshaped, the Crown Prince is more energized than ever about aviation and is launching three new airlines. These additions will sit alongside Saudia, Riyadh Air, flynas, and flyadeal. If all three debut as planned, Saudi Arabia will have at least seven active carriers built to feed the tourism engine of Vision 2030.
