Abu Dhabi Group sign investment worth $45 billion

InshaAllah this project will happen soon

I never meant 'wasted'. See, no one on mother Earth is gonna invest anywhere unless and until they are absolutely sure that there is something in it for them and all their investment is recovered plus profits. It's Abu Dhabi's greenbacks after all, not Pakistan's. They won't dish out any freebies.

Except for employment opportunities for Pakistanis, every dime spent by Abu Dhabi on those projects will have to be recovered by them in whichever form. There are no free lunches. Please remember that!

so how is this a bad investment?

Positive impacts
1). Respect from the whole world
2). Percetion towardsPakistan will somewhat change
3).Lots of job oppurtunities

Negative impacts
1).Staright forward hightest priority target for the unlimited Tabibanese and who not
2). Imagine how would Karachi look one building of 200 floors and the second highest to follow would be 10 floors .

For all his ills, Malik Riaz is a very astute businessman.

As notorious eagle said, trust Malik Riaz to bring a project like this to Pakistan.

the guy has made money from illegal means, the guy should be accountable and arrested

Brilliant achievement by Malik Riaz ( if true ). This man seems to be the biggest power broker in Pakistan. Certainly a man to watch for.

An investment of this size will certainly bring a lot of change in and around Karachi.

LAHORE: The calligraphic inlays will resemble those of the Badshahi Masjid in Lahore. Tiles for indoor flooring will mirror the ones at Lahore’s Wazir Khan Masjid. Sandstone bricks for the courtyard are derivative of the orange-hued ones found in Multan.

A grand salad of popular architectural patterns in Pakistan, being built to accommodate up to 14,000 worshippers indoors, the under-construction mosque at Bahria Town, Lahore boasts of elaborate planning. The courtyard and corridor leading to the main halls of worship can accommodate another 14,000.

Faisal Masjid in Islamabad, the current largest mosque of Pakistan, can accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers indoors (shade area). While Badshahi Masjid in Lahore, the second largest, can accommodate 8,500 (shade area).

Nayyar Ali Dada, explaining the glimpse of Badshahi Masjid and Wazir Khan Masjid within the architecture of the new mosque said that it has been designed to capture the historical essence of Lahore and its surrounding cities. “The previous design was inspired by an Abu Dhabi mosque. I had that remodelled.”

The sandstone bricks for the exterior bear the characteristic orange hue. “The sands of Multan have an orange colour. While Lahore’s is more impure, which is why Multan’s sand was brought in to make the exterior bricks,” said Dada.

“We found some old craftsmen, while some new ones were trained to make geometric and floral patterned tiles. Not similar to those at Wazir Khan — but inspired by them,” said Dada.

Work on the mosque began about three years ago and between 800 and 1,000 labourers have been constantly working at the site ever since, says Waseem Ahmad, the general manager of Bahria Constructions. The cost of the building stands at over a billion rupees already, according to him.

The main, three-dimensional arched dome, at a height of 150 feet and will be embossed with floral inlays and Mughal-era calligraphy. Eight chandeliers, synchronised to make a mammoth chandelier, will be installed at the dome’s centre.

Eight different varieties of marble are being flown in to floor the ground immediately beneath the dome.

“This place will accommodate more worshippers indoors. The circular side of the mosque and a broad corridor connecting it with the courtyard has a basement as big. While eight balconies circle the main dome, largely increasing space of the covered area of the mosque,” said Ahmad.

A great achievement for our nation and for the losers who are whining i must say saar kay kalay ho jao. Stop embarassing yourself as this news is all over the internet. As for Malik Riaz he is nothing if not resourceful.
