Mega projects in Malaysia used to be in the form of PETRONAS Twin Towers, KLIA and Putrajaya. But this mega project in our country can be said to be mini in terms of scale when compared to mega projects in Saudi Arabia. Yesterday the Mukaab project was announced with it being the world's largest cube-shaped building with dimensions of 400x400x400 meters in the city of Riyadh.
This is big enough to house 20 Empire State Buildings. Inside Mukaab, which means cube in Arabic, there is a tower that will be a place of residence, shopping, tourism, and business. The tower has a floor area of 2 million square meters.
The tower will be covered by a giant that can display various outdoor scenes because Mukaab has no windows. Therefore the view of the residents in the tower can be changed according to the season, time and situation.
In the outer part forming the body of the Mukaab cube there is another residence and on the roof there is also a garden for the use of visitors and residents. This will simultaneously make it the largest and highest park in the world.
Mukaab is part of the New Murabba project with an area of 19 square kilometers that will be home to hundreds of thousands of residents. Within this new city, there is 25 million square meters of floor space that will house universities, museums, office space, hospitals and residences. New Murabba is expected to be completed by 2030.
With Mukaab, Saudi Arabia will have a country with the world's largest cube, the world's longest building The Line and the world's tallest tower reaching 2 km.
