It is being designed on an area of about 900,000 square meters, in the wake of two of the major pillars of Saudi Vision 2030 — the Pilgrim Experience Program and the Quality of Life Program.
The first aims to facilitate the accommodation of more Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, offering high-quality services while enriching religious and cultural experiences.
The second bids to provide entertainment for families, with live events, theaters, exhibitions, and festivals.
The project is expected to include 18,000 hotel rooms upon completion, with eco-friendly means of transportation.
It will also boast green spaces, pathways, open squares with high-quality buildings, and eco-friendly educational and health facilities that employ modern technology.
It aims to create jobs for young men and women, while supporting the national economy by encouraging outstanding investment opportunities.
Madinah’s economic and spiritual significance enhances the project’s chances of success. The location was the first capital of Islamic civilization and is a destination for millions of pilgrims and visitors each year.
