Saudi Megacity

The waterside districts of the canal will be connected to each other and the rest of Jeddah by an inter-modal transport system with water taxis, buses, and subway.

A futuristic Saudi megacity is to feature two skyscrapers extending across a swathe of desert and mountain terrain.

Saudi Arabia was chosen on Tuesday to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games at a $500 billion futuristic megacity in the desert kingdom that planners say will feature a year-round winter sports complex.

It seems an unlikely vision, a megacity in the desert with no cars or roads, all run by machines that can recognise your face.

Saudi Arabia's King Salman arrived at a planned Red Sea megacity to "rest and recuperate", state media said Thursday, after the 84-year-old ruler underwent surgery to remove his gall bladder.

The walls are covered with graffiti in the sleepy fishing village of Khurayba. There are supplications to God, advertisements for vacation rentals and house painters. Near the local school, there's a scribbled plea: "Open the windows of hope and drive out the despair."
