Pictures: All About Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya

Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya is set to be a regional and global hub of entertainment, culture and sport. The vast, fully integrated destination is another giga-project, just like NEOM, Amaala and The Red Sea Project that is part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Spread over a lower plateau and on top of a majestic cliff face, Qiddiya will offer hundreds of recreational and educational facilities designed around five sections: Parks & Attractions, Sports & Wellness, Motion & Mobility, Nature & Environment and Arts & Culture.

Sustainability and a wish to minimise Qiddiya’s environmental impact are also major factors in the development of the project.

A transport network that allows guests to easily move around from attraction to attraction and the hotels of different levels, soaking up the atmosphere, is a highlight of the master plan too.

Six Flags Qiddiya

Six Flags Qiddiya, will also open its doors in 2023. Described as the “most unique” Six Flags ever built, it boasts 12 record-breaking attractions, the world’s longest, tallest and fastest roller coaster and the world’s tallest drop-tower ride. In addition, there are other theme parks, including a water theme park, and retail and dining options.

Construction on the entertainment mega-project started in 2019 and the first phase, which involves over 45 ventures, is due to be delivered in 2023.
