      @jeremym4451 if you cannot afford them, no they are not. Versailles bankrupted France, caused the revolution and the reign of terror. Romania's Parliament is a good modern example of the same - bankrupting the country for the ego of its dictator, while ignoring the actual plight of the people. Guess how Ceausescu ended too. Megaprojects are inherently risky, especially when commissioned by autocrats to flaunt their unrepresentive power at the expense of everyone else.

      There is no climate crisis. Jesus christ you people live on the same planet i do and yet you've been convinced of something that is easily debunked. If you'd said environmental crisis I'd say yes, sure pollution is a real problem. As far as climate crisis, when the planet starts COOLING, thats when we should worry. Ice ages have wreaked havoc on life on earth time and time again. There is no evidence that we have EVER, even once over heated our planet. In fact, as far back as we can see into human history, the warmer the climate got, the more populated and productive we became. This planet will be shocked back into an ice age long before it over heats. There is no climate crisis. Its a joke, a scam. We are technically STILL IN an ice age. Yet so many of us are brainwashed into disregarding the things we can see with our very own to eyes.

Also, I feel as though over time it will not be kept up and maintained like it would be in a city such as Dubai, Taiwan etc. Egypt as a whole is not a place for such a structure.

    There’s a Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. That the desert 🐪 dwelling Bedouins (Arabs) will be competing in building the tallest structures and this is one of the minor signs of the end of days ! I don’t see Americans,Africans or Europeans doing this to this extent 😢

    Those structures are rarely a good idea, probably will not economically do well.
    But, on the plus side, at LEAST, its somewhat attractive.
