I am very skeptical that this will pan out with a small ecological footprint. I think the water generation and treatment plans are likely to to be inadequate to maintain such water-thirsty features as golf courses. But, I guess we’ll see…
The golf course will likely be designed in such a way to have water run off into multiple drainage points that will lead back to wherever ever the wetwell is. I image there will be some treatment involved, nonetheless it would definitely be saving water. Simply by reusing the runoff for the golf course irrigation system. This does not eliminate the need to refill the wetwell, and it is likely that any water that would be used to irrigate the course that isn’t reused runoff, would be treated municipal water.
After watching just the intro, I have a hard time believing it will only cost $5 billion. Edit: After watching the whole video, I doubt it would only cost triple that figure, especially with the large scope of remote construction, that they will need exorbitantly lavish rooms/facilities to compete with the Emirates, road networks across that area the size of Belgium, and the lofty goals for sustainability/renewables. Only thing that keeps cost down is use of cheap South Asian labor treated to terrible conditions.

I'm pretty sure they must have thought of all possible techmologies and techniques that can be used to minimize the impact. This is also not one of a kind project, MiddleEast's climate don't give you much options really.
An amazing project and one that truly pushes the boundaries of human habitation in inhospitable climates. Unfortunately, anyone who's been snorkeling in Hawaii knows that no matter what they do with the architecture/design, within 5 years, the visitors will have destroyed most of the coral by not keeping their hands off it or needing to douse themselves in sunscreen.
Also don't forget the labours will be treated like slave & will have zero rights. The key to most Middle East infrastructure success is all because of cheap availability of labours who are treated inhumanely!! Time we also see human degradation along with environment destruction in such projects.
Seeing the same story unfold as in other countries, such as Spain, where overdevelopment through the 70s and 80s completely destroyed coastal habitats and natural treasures is really sad, even more so when they have evidence of the terrible consequences right next to them in the Emirates.

Sounds so utopian paradise. I have a bad feeling that the eco-ness of this project is being highly oversold, and that there is in reality almost zero chance that they can build this thing without harming the local ecology. I guess we will see!
Looks amazing, would love to go, however it's pretty concerning they'd decide to put it so close to a barrier reef and other ecological red-flags, that damaging interaction with it would be inevitable, if not by the building crews, but by the drunken tourists that eventually arrive, and keep arriving, year after year - this looks quite upmarket though so I'm guessing it won't look like a bombsite at the end of a bachelor's weekend - who knows.
tourists numbers will capped at 1 million per year once the project finishes in 2030, the environment is their first priority to the point that they set a goal not to just conserve the current state of the environment but they will increase the diversity and footprint by 30%, there are already scientists in the ground planting more and more reefs and mangroves.. etc, and they will plant more than 25 million trees in the area
Im from Hawaii, and there is such thing as Reef Friendly sunscreen. The tourism might actually help the reef in the longterm as fishermen and large boats will stay away from the area.
It looks nice on paper, but there's anything more sustainable that not doing that. It seems a pretty destructing project and also, I don't see how are they planning for sea rising.
I’m pretty sure the geologists have checked in on sea levels! Do you think people and companies just invest tens of billions blindly, without accountability?
I love how governments encourage poor/average people to take the environment seriously for the future, while simultaneously letting the rich devastate it.
This is an amazing and beautiful project; however, I doubt the environment wouldn't be polluted or destroyed by this it seems too unrealistic honestly.
Our ancestors in the past lived a “sustainable lifestyle”, we now have the technology to do that while maintaining modernization. This project will set an example to encourage more tourist hubs to do this. And what helps it is that it has an open checkbook, so it’s really not about the revenue, but about making history… we’ll witness history after this project is done. It’ll be the pillar that pushes other projects around the world to follow to suit.
This is pretty cool. Though tbh I got excited when I first clicked cause I thought this was all a conservation based plan. I would love to see more videos focused on construction projects based on reconstructing/protecting ecosystems
The engineering for this is fascinating and I really love how vanity projects such as these are pushing the boundaries for engineering. However, the need for every project to proclaim itself as sustainable and renewable and other bollocks has become ridiculous. Nothing in that desert short of a camelhide tent shelter will be sustainable. Modern architecture and building methods are a disaster for the environment if we look at lifetime environmental footprint rather than cherry picking some period in its operational life. Building with concrete and in the desert, where all of the food and materials have to come from thousands of miles away, not to mention the energy footprint of the entire manufacturing and building process, not just that of operation is the opposite of sustainability. And I am not too sure that the reefs are going to come out of this alright. Sustainability is the hypocritical piousness of the age.
You’re wrong Alex, just like our ancestors in the past lived a “ sustainable lifestyle”, we now have the technology to do that while maintaining modernization. This project will set an example to encourage more tourist hubs to do this.
@@alialshehri6977 I hope you are right, but you did not address any of my points regarding the unsustainability of it all. I do look forward to seeing how it will fare when built. Hope it will not be vaporware.
Architecturally beautiful, and no doubt an engineering challenge, especially with material and labour logistics. It's an incredibly ecologically sensitive region, however, so I hope their ambitions in that regard pay off. Excellent video as always!
Okay, that construction in the rocks looks promising and the airport, amazing, if they can pull it off, but that spot at 8:29-8:24 looks mesmerizing...like a tranquil pod, even while looking slightly Bond villain-ish at the same time.
I wonder how much planning around the rising of sea levels happens for new island resorts now. Or are the project lifespans too short to worry about it (….leaving it for post-demolition successor projects) perhaps?
Very beautiful, I really like the Desert Rock portion. It's nice to see such a thriving CAD (computer assisted design) program helping to make such an architectural marvel possible. Great video share, I'm very happy that I subscribed!
It will be interesting to see the environmental impact of this project. It’s being done with minimizing impact as a key aspect, if this doesn’t go well it will prove that we can never do it 😳

@@dankind64 no, we won't, your premise is wrong: this project turning out to be environmentally destructive is no prove for humankinds inability to be environmentally friendly
In all honesty this project is the least essential of all kinds of projects. No one except for investors is asking for resorts to be built in the red sea. It's too hot, It's too isolated, It will probably be too expensive to visit and because it exists in a land of sharia law it also lacks several freedoms that people can enjoy in other areas. The world doesn't need more luxury, all inclusive resorts right now. We need projects that actually accomplish things that advance our future instead of lame ass vacation "hot spots" that will probably be built by slave labor.
Just wish that these kind of ideas can happen for regular people around the world. It will be beautiful, but only for a few very wealthy people. Also... the odds that this doesn't kill some of the endangered species is pretty low..... too much of a focus on optics than substance with these types of projects.
Can’t wait to visit all parts of this marvelous project I’m truly happy to see such eco conscious approach in our region hope to see more sustainable development here & everywhere around our beautiful planet, thank you B1M for the continuous inspiration 💚
What got me excited is regarding the battery plant, if they use the newer technologies and establish themselves as being reliable way to store energy. Then they can pave the way towards battery powered cities slowly but surely!
One of the many reasons I've become convinced they're lying about global warming and rising sea levels. Climate change and ecological destruction are obviously real, but the effects of them are not what the media tells us, nor are the solutions to them.
Bravo. Unlike many other developments in the region, this has the confidence to be its own unique beautiful thing influenced by the local environment and culture rather than a tasteless emulation of Western architecture and monuments. The commitment to sustainability, including solar power and working with the environment, is very impressive and I really hope this is borne out in reality long term and not just in the glossy computer graphics designed to encourage investment.

@@LordOfLight I understand both of your comments just fine.

One thing I believe I heard was the elimination of single use food items. Banning plastic cups, utensils, bags, etc. goes a long way in minimizing waste and the garbage you see floating in the water. Since it will be built regardless of what non Saudis thinks I hope their sustainability dreams come true.

It all looks nice and all, but I doubt it will have a good impact on the local ecosystems and the coral reefs. And what about rising see level, because it looks like the islands will be gone in a matter of years.
@@user-yj4qz5lo6k someone mentioned it in a comment, and I hadn’t thought of it the way they did but to paraphrase they never thought a bought the impacts from the tourist itself, such as sunscreen. There’s a lots of chemicals in sunscreen that promote coral bleaching, and with thousands putting on sunscreen everyday, assuming it’s not reed safe majority of the time, that is definitely going to have a huge environmental impacts. Adding onto my own assumptions, I don’t know too much about this project besides the baselines established in this video so please do correct me if I’m wrong. Solar energy is amazing and it’s a really valuable resource but there are very harmful impacts of broken or unused solar panels after 20 so years. There’s going to be a mass of solar panels thats definitely going to have a negative impact after it degrades. Another thing is the water desalination, depending on the process is used, usually there is a large amount of concentrated salt water that is pumped back into the ocean after extraction, that can also pose an issue for sea-life.

Could you build a project the size of belgium sustainably? Yes, of course you can, it will however be hard.

Great video!! This project is ambitious. I hope the men behind the money stick to the ecological mandates they set for themselves. The renderings are truly stunning. I hope it will be somewhat affordable for the everyday travelers.
As gorgeous as this project is, resorts imo are inherently unsustainable and far from being environmental friendly. Might well take advantage of a Meta virtual resort like mentioned in your other video lol
Many of this project's most expensive elements seem to be only a couple of feet above sea level. Climate change could put a lot of this place under water that by mid-century.
yes, the hundreds of professionals working on this project were not able to anticipate such a thing. But you with that big brain of yours saw something they could not.
The architecture looks so beautiful like coral and shells with many complex and simple colors and also with many plants and creatures with a rock you can see out of and the rolling desert dunes with cold night breeze
If the red sea wasn't salty enough they will be pumping all that concentrated brine back into it. Because golf resorts are always the most environmentally friendly projects in the midst of a desert.
It looks very beautiful, as Middle Eastern mega projects often do, but i'm very concerned about the ecological footprint in an area with such a fragile and endangered ecosystem. I doubt the construction managers will be bothered with preserving the nature when the higher-ups start breathing down their necks.
You want a special topic? Make a comparison between the future Jeddah and developed Dubai and the advantages of both, especially after the new Jeddah projects such as the Downtown Jeddah project, the slum development project and the Jeddah Tower project after the Public Investment Fund acquired a large percentage of them. Jeddah and Dubai are the two most important economic cities in the Arabian Peninsula The idea revolves around a comparison between comparative advantages and aspects of competition between them, such as: 1. Airport 2. Sea port 3. City landmarks 4. Entertainment venues 5. Archaeological and heritage sites 6. Markets and malls 7. The comparative advantage of each city. 8. Museums 9.Infrastructure such as metro trains, pedestrian roads, etc. Does Jeddah have advantages that Dubai does not have that can be strengthened to compete with Dubai in tourism Economy? In my opinion, Jeddah's strong advantage now is two 1. It is the gateway to the Grand Mosque for those coming for Hajj and Umrah

Sounds so utopian paradise. I have a bad feeling that the eco-ness of this project is being highly oversold, and that there is in reality almost zero chance that they can build this thing without harming the local ecology. I guess we will see!
So beautiful, but so damaging 🙁
Looks amazing, would love to go, however it's pretty concerning they'd decide to put it so close to a barrier reef and other ecological red-flags, that damaging interaction with it would be inevitable, if not by the building crews, but by the drunken tourists that eventually arrive, and keep arriving, year after year - this looks quite upmarket though so I'm guessing it won't look like a bombsite at the end of a bachelor's weekend - who knows.
funny thing is alcohol is banned in KSA, so no drunken tourists!
Drunken tourists probably don't go scuba-diving, or swimming in general.
That's a death sentence
tourists numbers will capped at 1 million per year once the project finishes in 2030, the environment is their first priority to the point that they set a goal not to just conserve the current state of the environment but they will increase the diversity and footprint by 30%, there are already scientists in the ground planting more and more reefs and mangroves.. etc, and they will plant more than 25 million trees in the area
Im from Hawaii, and there is such thing as Reef Friendly sunscreen. The tourism might actually help the reef in the longterm as fishermen and large boats will stay away from the area.
It looks nice on paper, but there's anything more sustainable that not doing that. It seems a pretty destructing project and also, I don't see how are they planning for sea rising.
Seems like the most stupid spot in the entire world to build a resort, a one meter high island.
I’m pretty sure the geologists have checked in on sea levels! Do you think people and companies just invest tens of billions blindly, without accountability?
@@larschristianlundstrseth3028 yes. Mostly when it comes from petrodollars
@@larschristianlundstrseth3028 Yes when it comes to oil money. just look at P$G
They might just build a dam to close the red sea
Nobody on RUclips does ads like this channel. It's like you want to listen through, not skip them! Big up Fred.
I love how governments encourage poor/average people to take the environment seriously for the future, while simultaneously letting the rich devastate it.
We are the carbon they want to reduce
TRUE.
This is an amazing and beautiful project; however, I doubt the environment wouldn't be polluted or destroyed by this it seems too unrealistic honestly.
Our ancestors in the past lived a “sustainable lifestyle”, we now have the technology to do that while maintaining modernization.
This project will set an example to encourage more tourist hubs to do this. And what helps it is that it has an open checkbook, so it’s really not about the revenue, but about making history… we’ll witness history after this project is done. It’ll be the pillar that pushes other projects around the world to follow to suit.
These are the types of videos I like to watch, while on my toilet seat. Fascinating.
This is pretty cool. Though tbh I got excited when I first clicked cause I thought this was all a conservation based plan.
I would love to see more videos focused on construction projects based on reconstructing/protecting ecosystems
These projects make me so excited for the future
Why do I feel like this project is just a huge waste of money and resources…
Because it serves no purpose aside from entertainment... and only for the super-rich people who can afford it.
The engineering for this is fascinating and I really love how vanity projects such as these are pushing the boundaries for engineering. However, the need for every project to proclaim itself as sustainable and renewable and other bollocks has become ridiculous. Nothing in that desert short of a camelhide tent shelter will be sustainable. Modern architecture and building methods are a disaster for the environment if we look at lifetime environmental footprint rather than cherry picking some period in its operational life. Building with concrete and in the desert, where all of the food and materials have to come from thousands of miles away, not to mention the energy footprint of the entire manufacturing and building process, not just that of operation is the opposite of sustainability. And I am not too sure that the reefs are going to come out of this alright. Sustainability is the hypocritical piousness of the age.
You’re wrong Alex, just like our ancestors in the past lived a “ sustainable lifestyle”, we now have the technology to do that while maintaining modernization.
This project will set an example to encourage more tourist hubs to do this.
@@alialshehri6977 I hope you are right, but you did not address any of my points regarding the unsustainability of it all. I do look forward to seeing how it will fare when built. Hope it will not be vaporware.
Always super stoked to see a new ep! Fred you’re a legend
Architecturally beautiful, and no doubt an engineering challenge, especially with material and labour logistics. It's an incredibly ecologically sensitive region, however, so I hope their ambitions in that regard pay off. Excellent video as always!
Okay, that construction in the rocks looks promising and the airport, amazing, if they can pull it off, but that spot at 8:29-8:24 looks mesmerizing...like a tranquil pod, even while looking slightly Bond villain-ish at the same time.
Lovely, thank you for sharing this kind of project!
If it wasn't for this RUclips channel, I wouldn't know about such amazing projects going on around the world. Awesome stuff
This is such a good channel, so interesting and highlights engineering that's not always widely known....fantastic!
The Desert Rock resorts look like a James Bond's villain lair
Exactly 👌
Spectacular video, the project looks wonderful, congrats, thank you for sharing.🌞🧚🏻♀️
I wonder how much planning around the rising of sea levels happens for new island resorts now.
Or are the project lifespans too short to worry about it (….leaving it for post-demolition successor projects) perhaps?
ask the climate alarmists in the US that for some reason all end up buying beach front property in Florida
@@growndown3358 You do know global warming is real right?
@@AL-lh2ht Narrator : he doesn't
Very beautiful, I really like the Desert Rock portion. It's nice to see such a thriving CAD (computer assisted design) program helping to make such an architectural marvel possible. Great video share, I'm very happy that I subscribed!
You guys have, yet again, outdone yourself! Bravo!!
This channel drops dimes every time it posts.
It will be interesting to see the environmental impact of this project. It’s being done with minimizing impact as a key aspect, if this doesn’t go well it will prove that we can never do it 😳
if a project for the super rich done by an oil monarchy pretending to be environmentally friendly for PR reasons, turns out to not be environmentally friendly (it wont be), it does not "prove that we can never do it"
@@fabianstein6137 we shall see
@@dankind64 no, we won't, your premise is wrong: this project turning out to be environmentally destructive is no prove for humankinds inability to be environmentally friendly
@@fabianstein6137 oh yeah, i see what you're saying.
In all honesty this project is the least essential of all kinds of projects. No one except for investors is asking for resorts to be built in the red sea. It's too hot, It's too isolated, It will probably be too expensive to visit and because it exists in a land of sharia law it also lacks several freedoms that people can enjoy in other areas. The world doesn't need more luxury, all inclusive resorts right now. We need projects that actually accomplish things that advance our future instead of lame ass vacation "hot spots" that will probably be built by slave labor.
bro this video in particular was another level ... I loved every second of it, great job!!!
This is like if someone asked what the least climate friendly construction project they could imagine was
Sustainability and environment protection is key! I am glad they are taking it into consideration. Great project!
Just wish that these kind of ideas can happen for regular people around the world. It will be beautiful, but only for a few very wealthy people. Also... the odds that this doesn't kill some of the endangered species is pretty low..... too much of a focus on optics than substance with these types of projects.
Can’t wait to visit all parts of this marvelous project I’m truly happy to see such eco conscious approach in our region hope to see more sustainable development here & everywhere around our beautiful planet, thank you B1M for the continuous inspiration 💚
What got me excited is regarding the battery plant, if they use the newer technologies and establish themselves as being reliable way to store energy. Then they can pave the way towards battery powered cities slowly but surely!
Good special works footage coverage upload video officials by B1M
Creative designed;Excellent
Idk how/why we are still developing high end projects in coastal areas and islands with the rising sea level 🤔
One of the many reasons I've become convinced they're lying about global warming and rising sea levels. Climate change and ecological destruction are obviously real, but the effects of them are not what the media tells us, nor are the solutions to them.
It’ll take 20 years at least to go about 5cm, so I think for the next decades they’re good to go.
very good journalism. keep up the good work. was waiting for your video .
Bravo. Unlike many other developments in the region, this has the confidence to be its own unique beautiful thing influenced by the local environment and culture rather than a tasteless emulation of Western architecture and monuments.
The commitment to sustainability, including solar power and working with the environment, is very impressive and I really hope this is borne out in reality long term and not just in the glossy computer graphics designed to encourage investment.
If this happens, it wil another of another coral reef that bites the dust !!🥲
Yes wtf ? "There's no coral reef" should be a reason to build a resort there not the other way around...
Not only coral reefs, also many Asian and African slave workers and locals like Abdul-Rahim al-Howeiti who already payed the ultimate price for protesting against relocations of the native tribes
@@unbreakableldorado7723 so ignorant! That’s a whole different project again.. plus people were compensated.
@@knightara sure, Al-Howeiti and dead workers were 'compensated', then it's alright of course :)
@@unbreakableldorado7723 U stupid again! I meant the locals were compensated for expropriation. Alhowiti was armed and was shooting anyone comes close to his house!
Looks awesome, good luck on
How is THIS going to be successful in ways that huge projects on the other side of the Arabian peninsula have NOT been?
Also, too, ecologically friendly with a YUGE golf course taking up most of one of the islands? Yeah, no. They are one of THE largest point sources of pollution.
Why would a rich snob play golf in 50 degree Celsius heat in the middle of a desert? Maybe I'm too poor to understand. Anyone rich here to show us the light.
@@Fastest_Animal are all deserts above 50 C?
The mega projects in UAE have been successful. But the situation in Saudia Arabia is very different.
@@Fastest_Animal In Arizona, US, they like to say it is a "dry heat" but they get plenty of folks keeling over on the golf course from
heat stroke when it is about 45C in the shade. Gotta be golfin doncha know.
@@tomjohnson9338 As a great man once said when asked about his superpower, "I'm Rich", I'm surprised being rich doesn't make you heat resistant in golf courses.
I’m excited for this. Especially the mountain hotel
Wouldnt the rising sea levels be a problem for this kind of resort? Feels like they havent exactly thought that through
Yeah, I bet all those engineers, architects, and financiers have never thought of the very thing you thought of first. You're a goddam genius.
Hey man, don't worry, they use AutoDesk, the water around their islands won't rise an inch, guaranteed. =) haha
@@LordOfLight You mean all those experts that made sure the previous projects weren´t sinking failures?
@@xBox360BENUTZER Read the original comment again, and keep on doing it until you actually understand what was written.
No one suggested mistakes can't be made - of course they can - he suggested they hadn't thought it through, which isn't the same thing. Try to understand the difference; it's a big one.
@@LordOfLight I understand both of your comments just fine. Arabs already failed their previous projects because of rising sea levels and erosion and because this project offers no better solution it will fail just as well and those experts clearly didn´t think it through or don´t care because it isn´t their money.
Finally video on my country 🇸🇦❤️ alhamdulillah thanks
this is crazy beautiful not only for a destination but also for environmental
One thing I believe I heard was the elimination of single use food items. Banning plastic cups, utensils, bags, etc. goes a long way in minimizing waste and the garbage you see floating in the water. Since it will be built regardless of what non Saudis thinks I hope their sustainability dreams come true.
Winter is the best time to visit the alpine resort close to where the Prophet was born! Too hot for the summer. Just right in the winter to shun blizzards!🌴
The difference between a Rich person and a Poor person is how they use their time. Your Future is created by what you do Today not your Tomorrow.
The rich see an economic crisis as a garage sale and also the rich stay rich by investing and diversifying their portfolio with stock, crypto currency investment which is the wisest thing every individual need to do and it is really profitable.
Wow, Is amazing to see people who have also invested with Amy Robinette. I thought am the only one she helped through this rough market.
Yes of course, my trader Mrs Amy Robinette she very experiences in the market i meet her at los Angeles's, her success story are everywhere
I've heard about Mrs Amy Robinette but was sceptical to invest due to fear and ignorance, anyway can i verify her service ?
I haven't seen someone so determined to make her client profits as Amy Robinette. How she allows you express your fears and still calm your fears is something i admire about her.i don't usually comment on video but i must put the word out there. She very great.
Between this and Neom, Saudi Arabia really going all in on transforming the country. I will follow with curious interest.
It all looks nice and all, but I doubt it will have a good impact on the local ecosystems and the coral reefs.
And what about rising see level, because it looks like the islands will be gone in a matter of years.
you still believe in rising sea level? Ask yourself where all the climate change advocates have their mansions built. lmao
Building mega hotels in the middle of nowhere and then talking non stop about sustainability. That what i call great humor
I would have appreciated a bit more of your usual critique on this one. Seems like it has the potential to be highly damaging to the environment.
How?
@@user-yj4qz5lo6k someone mentioned it in a comment, and I hadn’t thought of it the way they did but to paraphrase they never thought a bought the impacts from the tourist itself, such as sunscreen. There’s a lots of chemicals in sunscreen that promote coral bleaching, and with thousands putting on sunscreen everyday, assuming it’s not reed safe majority of the time, that is definitely going to have a huge environmental impacts.
Adding onto my own assumptions, I don’t know too much about this project besides the baselines established in this video so please do correct me if I’m wrong. Solar energy is amazing and it’s a really valuable resource but there are very harmful impacts of broken or unused solar panels after 20 so years. There’s going to be a mass of solar panels thats definitely going to have a negative impact after it degrades. Another thing is the water desalination, depending on the process is used, usually there is a large amount of concentrated salt water that is pumped back into the ocean after extraction, that can also pose an issue for sea-life.
I love this channel! Id love to see a update video on this unique construction project in 5 years! And id like to see if they are following everything in their vision, minimized carbon footprint and sustainability plan! Looks amazing and im excited to see more videos by the definitive channel for construction B1M! :)
Could you build a project the size of belgium sustainably? Yes, of course you can, it will however be hard. Technically you could build a project the size of the planet sustainably, heck that's basically what we need to learn how to do, though it isn't going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination.
They have a website and it’s about to finish phase one

awesome! great work fred and team
these vids are just getting better and better!
Great video. Keep up the great work 👏
There is absolutely no way it will only cost 5Billion.
The airport alone would be already more than half of that.
LOL even the ad in this video is interesting and informative. Another amazing B1M video
A reef that needs protecting, proceeds to build a resort for rich people literally on top of it and an airport next to it.
Simply awesome! 😀👍🏼
The new airport is stunning ✈💺🍽🍸
Great video!!
This project is ambitious. I hope the men behind the money stick to the ecological mandates they set for themselves.
The renderings are truly stunning. I hope it will be somewhat affordable for the everyday travelers.
I'm surprised this project was allowed to proceed with our any plans to preserve the reefs they are building near. That is ridiculous
Do you even bother to visit the website of the project? They are going to preserve the reefs. Read before making an ignorant comment.
@@akmed5020 Ignorant?? Why don't you search up what that word means 🙄
@@akmed5020 Its easier to bs about ecological preservation than actually doing it. They're going to damage the local ecosystem, guaranteed.

@@jontymonts6938 My Road Leads into the Desert.
Crazy what construction is capable of these day. Wow.
As gorgeous as this project is, resorts imo are inherently unsustainable and far from being environmental friendly. Might well take advantage of a Meta virtual resort like mentioned in your other video lol
The use of Clair de Lune in the intro vibes with the Everything Everywhere All at Once movie
Many of this project's most expensive elements seem to be only a couple of feet above sea level. Climate change could put a lot of this place under water that by mid-century.
yes, the hundreds of professionals working on this project were not able to anticipate such a thing. But you with that big brain of yours saw something they could not.
That project sounds so interesting
It would be a dream to live like that. Hidden within nature instead of scarring the landscape with harsh, rectangular houses.
At the expense of nature. A really horrid project.

Oh don’t you worry about that, I will..
The architecture looks so beautiful like coral and shells with many complex and simple colors and also with many plants and creatures with a rock you can see out of and the rolling desert dunes with cold night breeze
I wonder where and how do they source the water for this project?
The ocean. They mentioned they are building reverse osmosis desalination plants to turn the sea water into fresh water.
If the red sea wasn't salty enough they will be pumping all that concentrated brine back into it.
Because golf resorts are always the most environmentally friendly projects in the midst of a desert.
@@adrians7186 that is very costly though….
This is madness
As amazing at it seems - I bet it ends up 40% complete and abandoned like so many other overly grand projects in the middle-east
definitely
I would like to inform you that the project is nearing completion and will be opened in 2023
Actually the project is way bigger than that and the almost done with tow islands and about to be ready in 2023
i wonder just how ludicrously expensive it will be to stay in that resort, and how deserted, as a consequence, it will be

this and neom are ridiculously ambitious
It looks very beautiful, as Middle Eastern mega projects often do, but i'm very concerned about the ecological footprint in an area with such a fragile and endangered ecosystem. I doubt the construction managers will be bothered with preserving the nature when the higher-ups start breathing down their necks.
You want a special topic?
Make a comparison between the future Jeddah and developed Dubai and the advantages of both, especially after the new Jeddah projects such as the Downtown Jeddah project, the slum development project and the Jeddah Tower project after the Public Investment Fund acquired a large percentage of them.
Jeddah and Dubai are the two most important economic cities in the Arabian Peninsula
The idea revolves around a comparison between comparative advantages and aspects of competition between them, such as:
1. Airport
2. Sea port
3. City landmarks
4. Entertainment venues
5. Archaeological and heritage sites
6. Markets and malls
7. The comparative advantage of each city.
8. Museums
9.Infrastructure such as metro trains, pedestrian roads, etc.
Does Jeddah have advantages that Dubai does not have that can be strengthened to compete with Dubai in tourism Economy?
In my opinion, Jeddah's strong advantage now is two
1. It is the gateway to the Grand Mosque for those coming for Hajj and Umrah
I really wanna vacation there
This is incredibly sad. Greed knows no bounds.
