‘The Cube of Saudi Arabia’ was recently announced and will be the tallest skyscraper in the world. The development is scheduled to be completed by 2030 and will be 400 meters high, wide, and long.
Saudi Arabia never ceases to amaze with its incredible constructions. One of the latest developments is called El Cube, also known as El Mukaab, the tallest skyscraper in the world that is part of a new district, Nueva Murabba, in the country’s capital, Riyadh. Check out all the details of the construction “The Cube“ of Saudi Arabia.
What Is the Purpose of “The Cube” in Saudi Arabia?
For many, the project of the tallest skyscraper in the world was a marketing maneuver to position the country as one of the most incredible and sophisticated tourist destinations on the planet.
Other analysts argue that the Cube of Saudi Arabia is just one of many initiatives that demonstrate the trend to elevate this Middle Eastern country to the top of global elite tourism.

Italian giant of 130 tons arrives at the Senna Tower construction site and accelerates foundations: Mite CFA 3436 drills up to 50 m, 750 hp engine, investment of R$ 20 million, unique in Latin America.
The list of megaconstructions under development is diverse and extensive; among the new structures, highlights include the Jeddah Tower, Line, Downtown Circle, Trojan, and the Oxagon. These megaprojects align with a strategic plan called “Vision 2030,” led by the Government and a group of private companies, including Oracle and Nvidia.
Now, the new jewel of this proposal is the Cube, the tallest skyscraper in the world, which would be built in a new district of Riyadh, the country’s capital, which has more than seven million inhabitants. This proposal, which aspires to be one of the main modern centers on the planet, would be at the center of the Nueva Murabba district, a space that would house more than 80 commercial establishments, internal walking trails, a large museum, and its major attraction, The Cube of Saudi Arabia or The Mukaab, which has been presented as the new face of Riyadh.
The Project ‘The Cube’ of Saudi Arabia Will Be 400 Meters High
The exterior appearance of The Cube is inspired by Najdi architecture, which has been used there for hundreds of years, and promises to shine every afternoon for the city. The building would be 400 meters high, 400 meters wide, and an equal depth.
Developers claim that visitors would have an immersive experience upon entering the tallest skyscraper in the world. According to the architects, it would be possible to observe everything around, both the landscape of Mars and the geography of the ocean floor. Developers aim to create a magical journey for all who venture in.
At the center of the Cube of Saudi Arabia, there would be a spiral tower offering everything from restaurants to hotel rooms, cinemas, theaters, and various observation platforms. Both the tower and the dome (responsible for the holographic projection) would be surrounded by a giant cube. At the vertices of the cube, there would be structures that could be defined as four skyscrapers, in an L shape.
The Tallest Skyscraper in the World Built in Saudi Arabia Promises to Be Completed in 2030
The top of the tallest skyscraper in the world would offer a kind of elevated park, with lakes, trees, and lawns. An oasis for visitors. The intention is to transform this building into a journey in itself.
It is expected that The Cube of Saudi Arabia will become the country’s icon, just like the Statue of Liberty in New York or the Eiffel Tower in Paris. If everything goes as planned, the development should be completed in 2030.
The goal of these developments is to make the country less dependent on oil; therefore, they consider these constructions and tourism as primary alternative businesses. One of the central pieces of this strategic plan is Neom or The Line, a modern city with a length of 170 km, which will require an estimated investment of one trillion dollars.
