00:00What if I told you the Middle East is about to change forever?

00:06We're talking about mega projects so massive, they sound like science fiction.

00:10But they're real, and they're happening right now.

00:12Forget everything you thought you knew about this region?

00:15We're diving into seven mind-blowing projects that are literally building the future.

00:19Entire cities rising from the desert, towers scraping the heavens,

00:23and a complete reimagining of how we live.

00:26These projects are set to redefine skylines and reshape the future on a scale never seen before.

00:32From a 170-kilometer-long city with no cars to a tower that will touch the clouds,

00:37the Middle East is in the midst of an unbelievable transformation.

00:41So buckle up, because today, we're giving you an exclusive look

00:45at the most ambitious construction projects on Earth.

00:47Let's get into it.

00:51The line in Saudi Arabia is a city like no other.

00:54170 kilometers long, but just 200 meters wide.

00:58Imagine a sideways skyscraper in the desert, with no cars at all.

01:02A high-speed train zips you from end to end in just 20 minutes.

01:06Everything you need is within a five-minute walk.

01:09The city is stacked vertically, creating a three-dimensional living experience.

01:14Its mirrored facade blends the city into the desert.

01:17Designed for 9 million people, it will run on 100% renewable energy and be powered by AI.

01:22No traffic jams, no pollution, just seamless, sustainable living.

01:27The line is a bold experiment.

01:29Can we build a city from scratch, using today's technology?

01:32This is urban living, reimagined for the 21st century.

01:36Welcome to the future.

01:37Next, we head to Qatar's Lusail City, built from scratch for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but designed

01:47for the future.

01:48Once empty desert, it's now a thriving metropolis with smart infrastructure and luxury islands.

01:54Lusail is one of the world's most sustainable cities, featuring a massive district cooling

01:58system and a pneumatic waste collection network.

02:01No more noisy garbage trucks, trash is whisked away underground.

02:04A central command center monitors everything in real time, from traffic to energy use.

02:10Smart grids, dimming streetlights, and citywide fiber optics make life efficient and connected.

02:17Water taxis and a light rail system keep the city moving, eco-friendly style.

02:22The iconic Lusail Stadium hosted the World Cup final, but its legacy is the city itself.

02:28The stadium will be repurposed into a community hub, while Lusail is built to house over 450,000

02:34people.

02:36The Kedifan Islands offer luxury hotels, waterparks, and exclusive villas.

02:41Katara Towers, crescent-shaped skyscrapers, are already landmarks.

02:46Each district has its own unique style.

02:48From the marina to the waterfront, Lusail is a blueprint for the future.

02:52Smart, sustainable, and beautiful.

02:54It's a massive investment in Qatar's future, moving beyond natural gas to a knowledge-based

02:59economy.

02:59They didn't just build stadiums, they built a city.

03:03Lusail is a living laboratory for urban innovation.

03:06This is how you turn a mega-event into a permanent legacy.

03:09The future of city living is here.

03:14Get ready for Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia, the first building aiming to reach 1 km into

03:18the sky.

03:19That's over 3,200 feet, dwarfing the Burj Khalifa.

03:23With 200-plus floors, it will feature a luxury hotel, condos, and the world's highest observatory.

03:29The design is aerodynamic, inspired by desert plants, and built to withstand fierce winds.

03:34Foundations go over 100 meters deep, anchored with special concrete.

03:39The tower's three-sided shape breaks up wind forces, a must at such heights.

03:43Construction paused at 252 meters, but now it's reportedly restarting.

03:47If completed, Jeddah Tower will be the crown jewel of a new economic city, on the Red Sea.

03:53Elevators will use carbon fiber cables, and travel at over 10 meters per second.

03:57This isn't just a skyscraper, it's a symbol of Saudi ambition, and Vision 2030.

04:02Like the Burj Khalifa put Dubai on the map, Jeddah Tower aims to do the same for Jeddah.

04:07The race to the sky is back on.

04:09Will they finish it?

04:10The world is watching.

04:11This is the next legendary chapter in the skyscraper story.

04:14Stay tuned as Jeddah Tower climbs into the clouds.

04:21Dubai never stops dreaming big.

04:23Meet the Dubai Creek Tower.

04:25Designed to surpass the Burj Khalifa, its final height is a closely guarded secret, but it could

04:30approach the 1 kilometer mark.

04:33Unlike a traditional skyscraper, it's a slender observation tower, anchored by a web of steel

04:38cables.

04:38The design is inspired by a lily flower, and Islamic minarets.

04:43Elegant, delicate, and striking.

04:46At night, it will shine with a beacon from its peak.

04:49The cable system allows the tower to be incredibly slender yet strong, withstanding Dubai's winds

04:55and seismic activity.

04:56It will be the centerpiece of Dubai Creek Harbor, a new district twice the size of downtown Dubai.

05:01Observation decks, including the pinnacle room, will offer 360-degree views, and even rotating

05:08platforms.

05:09Hanging gardens will evoke the legendary gardens of Babylon.

05:13Construction was paused, but foundations and anchors are ready, and a redesign may make it

05:17even more spectacular.

05:19Dubai is always reinventing itself, and this tower is the next icon.

05:23It's not just about height, it's about creating a new symbol for a new era.

05:27The competition for the sky is fierce, and Dubai is determined to lead.

05:32The Dubai Creek Tower is a statement of elegance, innovation, and ambition.

05:36We can't wait to see this lily bloom in the desert sky.

05:42Now let's go to Egypt, where they're building an entirely new capital city from scratch.

05:47Cairo is bursting at the seams, so the new administrative capital is rising 45 kilometers east, designed

05:53to relieve the pressure.

05:54Covering 700 square kilometers, about the size of Singapore, it will eventually house

05:596.5 million people.

06:01The first phase includes government ministries, a presidential palace, parliament, and embassies.

06:07The architecture blends modern design with Egyptian motifs, creating a new national symbol.

06:12It's not just a government town, it's a smart, green city.

06:15The Green River Park will be twice the size of Central Park, with lakes and green spaces throughout.

06:20Smart infrastructure includes traffic management, utilities, and security.

06:2570% of rooftops will have solar panels.

06:28The iconic tower, already Africa's tallest, anchors a new business district with 20 other

06:32skyscrapers.

06:33The city also boasts the region's largest cathedral, and a grand mosque.

06:37It's a massive $58 billion gamble, but Egypt sees it as essential for the future.

06:42The goal?

06:43Create a new engine for growth, attract investment, and build a world-class city.

06:47Construction is moving at breakneck speed, with thousands of workers on site.

06:52Government employees are already moving in.

06:55Whether it solves Cairo's problems or creates a new elite enclave, the ambition is undeniable.

07:03Now, let's explore the Red Sea Project in Saudi Arabia.

07:07A luxury tourism destination like no other.

07:09Over 90 pristine islands, volcanoes, and mountains are being transformed into a global paradise.

07:15The philosophy is regenerative tourism, not just sustainable, but improving the environment.

07:21Only 22 islands will be developed, leaving most untouched for nature.

07:25The entire destination will run on 100% renewable energy, with a massive solar farm and battery

07:30storage.

07:31No single-use plastics, zero waste to landfill, luxury with a conscience.

07:36Resorts are architectural marvels, like the Desert Rock Resort carved into a mountain,

07:39and the Shabara Resort's floating steel orb villas.

07:43The project has its own international airport, and guests travel by electric vehicles and

07:48sustainable boats.

07:50Saudi Arabia is opening up to global tourism, aiming for a million visitors a year, and tens

07:55of thousands of jobs.

07:57The first phase is already open, with hotels and the airport welcoming guests.

08:01This is a bold statement.

08:03Luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.

08:06The Red Sea Project is changing the face of travel.

08:09It's a new paradigm for the future of tourism.

08:12You can already book a stay in this incredible place.

08:14This is not a dream.

08:16It's a destination.

08:20Finally, let's visit the Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, the world's

08:25largest solar power plant.

08:27It's the backbone of Dubai's clean energy strategy, aiming for 75% clean energy by 2050.

08:32When finished, it'll cover 77 square kilometers and power 1.3 million homes, cutting over 6.5

08:39million tons of carbon emissions annually.

08:42The park uses millions of photovoltaic panels on sun-tracking mounts, plus concentrated solar

08:47power, CSP technology.

08:49The CSP section features the world's tallest solar tower, surrounded by 70,000 mirrors, focusing

08:55sunlight onto molten salt.

08:56This molten salt stores heat, allowing the plant to generate electricity even after sunset.

09:02It's a breakthrough.

09:03Clean energy, 24-7.

09:06Each phase has set new records for the lowest cost of solar power, making it cheaper than

09:10natural gas.

09:12The park includes research and innovation centers, pushing clean energy technology forward.

09:17Dubai isn't just using renewables, it's inventing the future of energy.
