Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs Prince Mansour Bin Miteb will perform the ceremony on Thursday at the site, which will be 2.5m square metres in size and will be one of the largest environment projects in the world, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

No matter what KSA does people are for some reason negative. Not sure what this is bound in but some of us have a very clear idea and the word starts with e and ends with y.

Looks great. Congrats!

We should not criticize progress; we should admire and appreciate it. It's counterproductive to criticize good things even if you think the bad things out number the good things. People are so cynical these days.

KSA is a hated country among certain users here on PDF. No matter what they do it is always the same tiring song.

They say that it is because of the House of Saud but I believe that some of them just hate Arabs and want us dead. This is why they are provoking us in every thread nearly that we make for no reason.

Is this for research purposes or for tourism purposes - Or both ?

Saudi Arabia is set to lay the foundation stone for the King Abdullah International Gardens (KAIG) in Riyadh this week, with plans for the facility set to include the world’s largest botanical gardens, it was reported.

Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs Prince Mansour Bin Miteb will perform the ceremony on Thursday at the site, which will be 2.5m square metres in size and will be one of the largest environment projects in the world, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The plans include two separate elements: a covered section and an open area. The covered facility, which will be the largest of its kind in the world, will include two giant botanical gardens which will be five times bigger than the world’s largest geodesic domes at the Eden Project in the UK, the Saudi Gazette reported.
The outdoor area will include an open museum for plants, seeds bank and rocky garden, while the plans will also include research institutes, retail and hospitality outlets and a theatre, it added.
The project will focus on local plant life in the Arabian Peninsula and is designed to appeal to families and tourists.

So both which is good. But let us see the end result once it is finished.

The following 25 photos are all from the Arabian Peninsula or illustrations taken from actual resorts elsewhere on the Arabian Peninsula with similar landscapes as Riyadh and nearby areas. Links will follow at the end when those 25 photos have been posted. Only 10 photos are allowed to be posted per post after all.

 

[al-Hasani]

Continuing with 10 of those 25 photos in total. The 5 remaining photos will be posted after this post and the 2 links from where the photos originate. One has to wait 10 minutes or so before one can post another post if it contains more than 10 photos at once.
