Saudi Arabia unveils giant cube-shaped supertall skyscraper. Large enough to hold 20 Empire State Buildings, the global icon will feature innovative technologies to transport you to new worlds. The project is set to be completed by 2030.
The Saudi Arabian government has announced plans to build a 400-metre-high cube-shaped skyscraper named Mukaab. The 19-square-kilometre development, described as the "new face of Riyadh", is set to be built to the northwest of central Riyadh.
The wider development will contain over 100,000 residential units and 9,000 hotel rooms along with more than 980,000 square metres of shops and 1.4 million square metres of office space. All within a 15 minute walk.
