CONSTRUCTION work is advancing rapidly at Qiddiya City, a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, as it evolves into the world's first city centered around entertainment, sports, and culture, located 40 minutes from Riyadh.

The 360-sq-km development – featuring more than 400 world-class attractions across 27 assets alongside residential, retail, offices, hospitality and community assets – has achieved significant construction milestones this year.

Key infrastructure, including internal roads, bridges, and utilities, as well as landmark attractions are nearing completion, positioning Qiddiya as a soon-to-be global destination. These comprise Six Flags, which will host record-breaking rides, including Falcon's Flight, the tallest, fastest, and longest rollercoaster in the world; and the adjacent Aquarabia, set to be the largest water park in the region, offering immersive aquatic experiences for visitors of all ages.

Construction is also under way on Speed Park, a 21-km motorsports track featuring “The Blade”, the world’s first cantilevered track section. These developments not only showcase engineering excellence but also reflect Saudi Arabia's commitment to setting new global benchmarks in entertainment and sports infrastructure, according to Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC), a PIF company, which is spearheading the unique development.
