The Saudis are the most prolific builders of fantastical cities in the world. First Neom and now New Murabba with its futuristic centerpiece of a golden cube (The Mukaab) of 1,300 on each side. This is a combination of physical and virtual reality that sounds like an immersive Metaverse simulation.There are more questions than answers at this point, and there is much explaining to do. All of the promo videos are simulations, but to get to this point, millions of dollars have already been spent. Notably, the entire downtown area of New Murabba will all be built from scratch and will be completed by 2030 – just 7 years away. It is designed to be a “15 minute” city, saturated with smart city sensors and surveillance technology. New Murabba can rightly be called a Technate.
The golden cube is reminiscent of the passage in the book of Revelation (Rev. 21:16+) that describes the New Jerusalem that comes down from heaven, which is 1,500 miles on each side with streets of gold. ⁃ TN Editor
THESE stunning images reveal the incredible plan for a futuristic Saudi desert metropolis with a towering 1,300sq ft “virtual reality” cube.
The “New Murabba” city is planned to give downtown Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a facelift and is scheduled to be in motion by 2030.
The country’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced the launch of the development this week.
He will chair the company, which is tasked to develop the “world’s largest modern downtown” according to local media reports.
A prospective video released by the company offered an insight into the glam city.
From an aerial view, the green city is seen majestically juxtaposed to the surrounding dry desert.
As the camera moves through the streets, a beautiful vibrant town filled with people can be seen enjoying the infrastructure.
The main feature, however, is the “Mukaab”.
It is a 1300ft high tower that is comprised of modern day luxuries including fine dining restaurants, retail and residential living.
To take the project to a grand scale, the outer walls of the metropolis are fitted with virtual reality technology, reflecting amazing scenery for locals to enjoy.
