- A decade ago, Saudi Arabia had a vision to transform its holy city of Mecca to a destination like Las Vegas. The plan was to be build the largest hotel in the world with more than 10,000 rooms. Known as the Abraj Kudai, this development never saw the light of day and to this day remains just a vision. But the story of this project is a fascinating one, and if built, the hotel would have been unlike anything you’ve ever seen. In today’s video, we will explore everything you need to know about this long forgotten yet mesmerizing megaproject.

Thank you for making these video's.
All projects in this video already finished and successful in my fictional world
0:43 holy city me Mecca " like Las Vegas"😢😢😢. Well I'm concerned
I think there is no need for new luxury hotels in Saudi Arabia. Especially if it hurts the sanctity of the mosque and means destroying old landmarks.
Old landmarks is not as important to any Muslims and the holy Mosque it self old makkah is already gone to be a part of the the Mosque .
Any Muslim would be happy to give away as charity his land in makkah to be included in the Holy Mosque.
Historical buildings are important for the knowledge of our children and grandchildren in the future.. Seeing historical buildings during the time of the Prophet is better than seeing luxurious buildings/old landmark because all of that reduces sacredness.
You are so toxic. That's not your country. Go mind your own business and your country only.
Abraj kudai YA LO SÉ QUE SI SEGURO 100%, pero tengo dudas quien financio a los hoteles de las vegas y malasia
Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that your video really inspired me. I'm excited to keep building my channel and sharing even more awesome travel experiences with my audience, just like you do. Your travel inspiration is really amazing, and I hope to follow in your footsteps by visiting new places and sharing them with others. Thanks again for being such a great source of motivation!
Well, this building is almost 10 years in the making.
Las Vegas y malasia , son financiadas por Arabia Saudí??.
AURIEZ - VOUS L'EXTRÊME AMABILITÉ D'AFFICHER LE SOUS -TITRAGE EN FRANÇAIS POUR QU'ON PUISSE COMPRENDRE CE QUE VOUS DITES....?????? MERCI INFINIMENT...
All you need translated is this:
Profitez de vues dans les chambres de l'autre
What???!!!‽
Damn
my honest comy honest comments is that the whole structure itself seems to be very similar to most grand hotels aroudn th world and also the feeling of staying in this place is kid of similar , people generally wants unique and most importantly pratical designs. Wish they can come up with futuristic designs with mix of the old world style. Still i enjoyed and learned about this place , thanks ! 🤳
It will have everything you can imagine, except a cold beer.
and a sewage system.😆
If they don’t want to mess up the clock towers history build it in Marina for Musjid al nabawi so you have a good show of both mosques
Since islam is expanding definitely need accommodation near ka'aba. But Islam has always been for the common man and so the prices should be commonly affordable and the designs less pretentious to support lower income levels.
they said they wanted to turn mekka into a destination like las vegas, that seems like the most disrespectful treatment of a religion i can think of. i'm not even a muslim and still feel kind of offended, lol
3:30 I do not enjoy if strangers can see my room.
Don't worry only muslims can enter Mecca and muslims don't do that stuff so its safe
I agree.
Am I missing something here? " _Enjoy_ views into each other's rooms?"
Regarding the "Don't worry" comment:
again, am I missing sthg?
I don't wish to cast aspersions, but no matter how polite and respectful a person is, there's no gainsaying the accidental glimpse of a neighbouring guest doing the myriad things we humans do in private. Things that we would be seriously upset about if in public.
You know, from the innocuous scratch right down to whatever unsavouriness (un)imaginable.
Finally, devout we may well strive to be and our gaze we would avert, but what about the children? They should be protected from catching sight of all sorts of things, even before we get to rules about them and the opposite sex.
It's a minefield!
That jumped out at me also. I think most people would not consider being seen by other guests a plus
Some thing maka needs is not a hotel a airports
The reason there is no airports in Mecca is because planes cannot go above the Kaaba 🕋
Fake
All oil dirty money
Pipe dream. 😆
