Saudi Arabia to construct world's largest building stretching miles

According to those acquainted with the topic, Saudi Arabia is preparing the world's largest skyscrapers in a mostly unpopulated portion of the nation as part of a totally new $500 billion development called Neom.

According to the sources, Neom, the brainchild of Saudi Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman, plans to erect twin buildings that would reach a height of 500 meters (1,640 feet) and spread horizontally for dozens of kilometers.

The skyscrapers, which would span from the Red Seashoreline into the desert, would house a mix of residential, retail, and office space, according to the persons, who asked not to be identified since the material is confidential. According to the persons, the idea is a departure from the concept presented last year of constructing a series of developments linked by underground hyper-speed rail into a one long structure.

According to current and former Neom personnel, designers were directed to work on a half-mile-long prototype. If built in its entirety, each project would be larger than the world's current tallest structures, which are mostly factories or shopping malls rather than residential communities.

Prince Mohammed's idea to transform a rural section of the kingdom into a high-tech semi-autonomous state that reimagines urban life was announced in 2017. It's part of his strategy to entice international investment and diversify Saudi Arabia's economy away from oil revenues. The Line, the car-free linear city that would serve as Neom's backbone, might cost up to $200 billion to create, according to the prince last year, but that was before the concept was revised to include massive horizontal skyscrapers.

"The Line is an out-of-the-box concept," Neom CEO Nadhmi Al-Nasr said in an interview, declining to discuss on the plan's specifics. "When we're ready, we'll deliver something that will be very well accepted and seen as revolutionary."

According to current and former employees at the Saudi project, Neom collaborated with Morphosis, a California-based architecture firm, to plan The Line. Morphosis, which was created by Thom Mayne, the "bad boy" of American architecture, did not reply to calls for comment.

According to Al-Nasr, the buildings would be "various heights as you go," responding to the landscape, and their final scale would be dictated by engineering considerations and the topography.

The world's tallest structure, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, is already located in the Middle East. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal declared intentions to build the world's tallest structure near Jeddah long before Prince Mohammed rose to power. The skyscraper is still in the early stages of construction.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sudan have a long-standing history of bilateral relations.

Over the years, the UAE has been a strong supporter of Sudan's development and prosperity. As Sudan faces challenging times, it is important that this support continues. The UAE has been a key player in Sudan's development, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, health, education, and renewable energy. In recent years, the UAE has also provided aid and support to Sudan in the aftermath of natural disasters, such as floods and droughts.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Saudi Arabia can import halal Kobe beef from Japan

At a signing ceremony, Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al-Saud and Tomoshige Kanzawa, president of the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association, confirmed the certification for the Kingdom. In Saudi Arabia, beef can only be consumed if it has been processed in accordance with religious regulations and is marked as halal. Thirteen Arabic-speaking nations now have access to halal Kobe beef thanks to Saudi business Fam Al-Ghidha. In order to sign the agreement and sample Kobe beef, Prince Faisal traveled to Japan. Motohiko Saito, the governor of Hyogo Prefecture, and Masao Imanishi, the deputy mayor of Kobe City, also attended the ceremony. For the first time in Japan, the meat center in Sanda City, central Japan, achieved halal certification in October of last year. The145 heads of halal Kobe beef are expected to be sent to Saudi Arabia this year. In a
