Great video (with great visuals and narration). But the Burj Khalifa is hardly “…just shy of a mile.” The Burj Khalifa is 2717 feet tall. A mile is 5,280 feet, nearly twice the BK. $500 billion for the complex? That’s insane. The BK cost ~ $1.5 billion. I wonder if Saudi Arabia is just bragging or if they’re really prepared to spend that much. Again, great job. I subbed.
THAT IS OVER A DECADE MAN.

1) Is there actually a demand for residential, entertainment, business, and military units/offices for this tower? 2)Will fire engines have ladders/fire hoses that reach the upper floors?!
WELL, IT WILL BE LIKE DUABAI OF SAUDI ARABIA. YOU DO NOT NEED MUCH: 500K FOLKS SPEND 250K PER YEAR, THAT IS 125 BIL ECONOMY RIGHT THERE. AND ALSO PEOPLE WILL VISIT. SO IT WORKS. SAUDI HAS 35 BILLION FOLKS AND YOU CAN EASILY EXPECT 100K RICH FOLKS LIVING IN JEDDAH!! THEY ARE ALREADY LATE. ----------- THEY NEED TO COME UP CLOSE TO 250 BIL EXPENDITURE BY 2030. THE WAY THEY ARE DOING IN SPORTS NOW!! SO MASSIVE WORK IS ON!
This tower of Saudi Arabia aims to be the tallest skyscraper in the world at 1,008 meters high but unfortunately,Dubai is now constructing it's Dubai Creek Tower at 1,300 meters high. If both towers are finished, Dubai's Creek Tower will be the highest/tallest structure on this planet, second is the Jeddah Tower, the third is Dubai's Burg Khalifa at 828 meters high and the fourth is the Merdekah Tower in Malaysia.
Well they know the world will need oil less, and they only have so much. So they think building these mega structures will attract tourists, and businesses. That people will come to these mega structures. Like somehow it will suddenly fix the root issues. One their citizens don't want to work. They can't tax without being overthrown. It is a hot, lifeless desert. Oh, and it is a Muslim or religious country with all types of archaic laws that much of the world have moved past. They pretend to be tolerant, but deep down they aren't . Like they want to make it a tourist destination with a city people must see, and waste money in... Drinking is illegal in Islam. You all know other backward laws a strict Muslim country has. If they were smart they'd be forcing their lazy citizens to be engineers, software, hardware tech gurus. Also lighten way up off the scripture for foreigners.
@@dianapennepacker6854I thought the same thing who is going to support this huge project economically, I guess build it and they will come is the mentality here.
Can you go on vacation to Jeddah so you can take pictures of the Jeddah towers Construction this year

@@coasterfrk100
You’re probably right…just needed a good editor.
Wow, a country builds a tall building...My life Will Never Be The Same Again. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good brother...i like ❤
So the Burj is not almost a mile tall it's just over a half mile tall with nearly 1000 feet of that 2700 total hieght is the spire.
They are cutting cost? Something very bad will happen. Not a good idea.
Here's the guy I was talking about 😂😂
Did they find new slave to put at work?
The Burj Khalifa is no where near a mile. Plus, who calls height "length"???
God bless Saudi Arabia and Africa
Dear brother, tell me if this building will be completed, he does not know English well
The burj khalifa isnt just shy of a mile 😂😂😂

Neither will be built
Insane!
they need lot of water
What could possibly go wrong ?
Hello brother can i get a reply??
Better hope they don't piss off someone with a box knife.
What's the purpose for making this tower in the desert? Are these rich people that bored.

Why don't you get off your backside and make something of your life? Instead of envying those that have?
As I just watched this video, it's not Elon musk who is the richest man. It's Jeff Bezos
Who gives a fuck!
Nope, quick Google search, Elon Musk is worth $70 or so billion more than Bezos.
The list changes constantly because most of the ultra-wealthy's assets are based on stocks and other investments not cash outright.
It's neither.
They sure didn't allow for much natural light!
I just wish it was cool to feed starving people
They do
And even if they didn't it's still their money and their country
You have no relevance on how they spend their funds

You will never stop ignorant people living and having kids in areas that are not suitable for sustained life.
This is kind of like the tower of Babel, look it up in the Bible.
The Tower of Stupid!
🏫🏗️🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫
What about his torture and murder of Khashoggi ?
Only 1.2 billion that actually does not sound that much if you think about it the city center in Las Vegas where I live costed I believe 7 billion.
THAT IS OLD NEWS. THIS COULD GO UP TO 5 BIL IF THEY REALLY WANNA GET SERIOUS AND COMPLETE. COST OF LABOR AND MATERIALS HAS ALREADY DOUBLED.
a stupid ego trip. like the 100 km glass wall. hahaha
