Saudi Arabia plans a massive desert SIDESCRAPER: MBS unveils 75 mile-long, $1 trillion skyscraper called the Mirror Line that will be taller than the Empire State Building and house up to five million people




Saudi Arabia plans on building a 75-mile skyscraper called the Mirror Line by 2030. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in January 2021 and said he wanted to be greater than the Egyptian Pyramids. The Mirror Line will consist of two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallels to each other and go across desert, mountains, and coastal areas. When completed, it will hold up to 5million people and people will be able to commute end-to-end in 20 minutes.

The Mirror Line (pictured) will be a part of the desert city called the Noem - which will be around the size of Massachusetts. The 75-mile skyscraper will house two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallel to each other


The Mirror Line will have vegetation, including vertical farming, a high-speed train, and create thousands of jobs


The reflective buildings will house around five million people and residents will be able to get end-to-end in 20 minutes through renewable energy trains


The Line is located near the coastal area of the country


Salman is hoping to great a desert community known as Neom (pictured)


The futuristic community is supposed to rival the Egyptian Pyramids

All we can think about in this country is basing our future on Prince Charle's vision of the past "Poundbury".

Nothing like living in the past.

The pyramids of the 21st century? That's the vision of the Saudi tyrant whose dream for a 105-mile long desert city could cost $1 TRILLION... But with harsh reality biting already, will it ever be built?



TOM LEONARD: Just imagine, if you can, a 105-mile long, pencil-thin horizontal skyscraper - a sidescraper - that cuts through high mountains and arid desert. It will house a city of nine million people. There will be no cars or streets but flying taxis: oh and a giant fake moon, animatronic dinosaurs and an army of robots to harvest food, cook and clean for the pampered population. And carbon emissions will be zero. As these fantastical concept pictures show, there would be nothing like the city of Neom anywhere on the planet. Which is no surprise. The sci-fi architecture - often reminiscent of futuristic 1982 film Blade Runner - is indeed influenced by the masters of Hollywood special effects.

Built with slave labour no doubt, like the World Cup stadiums in Qatar.

Apparently 80% of all the cranes in the world are being used on construction projects in the UAE.

Actual projects employing lots of people from this country. Most on exceptionally good wages as I understand.

No tax, good working conditions, free healthcare and holidays by the sea.

If only I were younger.
