With 10,000 bedrooms and 70 restaurants, plus five floors for the sole use of the Saudi royal family, the £2.3bn Abraj Kudai is an entire city of five-star luxury, catering to the increasingly high expectations of well-heeled pilgrims from the Gulf.

Hmmm. Wonder if isis/isil/is will be taking a look at the construction plans. Maybe some special "entertainment" during the Beheaders Ball?

IIRC, infidels are not allowed in the city and are killed if found therein.

I’m sitting here thinking if it can be a databased geo-located formal “Target from Orbit” candidate.

You know, for when those when-and-if situations arise.

It’s the only way to be sure.

It is interesting due to the fact that no unbelievers are allowed to work on any of these projects.

How many profiteers will convert in order to take part of these big projects?

Because of oil prices, the Kingdom is depleting their reserves. I can’t help to think that this is a payoff to the Islamists in an attempt to stay in power.

Their new style over there reminds me of Las Vegas. Especially the New York New York casino. Gaudy.

Minor detail, I’m sure — but, how would one get to/from those helipads and the hotel?
