Right now, Saudi Arabia’s all about making things big.
Big like never before.
Which is why they came up with the Abraj Kudai:
Located in Makkah, the Abraj Kudai is a mammoth of a hotel.
This massive $3.6 billion project offers an unprecedented level of luxury and brilliance and spans a massive 1.4 million square meters.
Or, in other words, around 262 American-sized football fields.
Now, what does exactly will you find within this mega hotel?
- 10,000 rooms
- 70 restaurants
- 4 helipads
- a bus station
- a whole shopping mall
- a ballroom
- the largest dome atop a hotel
- and a conference centre among other things
The hotel has 45 stories, along with five floors dedicated entirely to the Saudi royal family.
It was initially projected to open by 2017, but a financial hiccup postponed this to 2020.
It has not been completely built yet, but once it is, it will carry the title of “the world’s largest hotel”, beating First World Hotel, Malaysia, which has 7,351 rooms only.
The hotel will be open for the Muslim public to stay in at a cost of potentially £4,000 per night or $5250 approximately.
Truly insane.
