Feel like over the past 3 years we've had multiple stories about this project scaling back, 3 or 4 more times and this will just be a regular office building.
In other news my personal Dyson sphere has been scaled back yet again! How could anyone have seen that such a thing is an unfeasible fantasy.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's flagship development that sprawls across a Belgium-sized stretch of Red Sea coastline and was once billed as the world's largest construction site.
It was the size of Luxembourg after the last downsizing. It's now the size of Andorra, but there's another set of cuts coming and it will end up a little smaller than Monaco.
What I do wonder is how many Saudis have the skills needed to provide the services needed by this project?
None. The vast majority of work done in Saudi is done by immigrant slave labour. I say slave labour because they take their passports from them when they enter the country so they can't leave. They're also forced to live in poor conditions and work horrific hours. The rate of work injuries and deaths is shocking.

That is about 4.3 million football fields.
Ironic if it ends up Vatican-sized.
