The Board of Directors of the King Salman Park Foundation announced the completion of the Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Tunnel, marking a significant achievement in the efforts to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in Riyadh. As part of the broader King Salman Park project initiated in the third quarter of 2021, this tunnel, spanning 2,430 meters beneath King Salman Park, is one of the longest in the Middle East. It represents a crucial element of the ambitious infrastructure development led by @King Salman Bin Abdulaziz and the Crown Prince, aiming to enhance the city's liveability and global stature. The tunnel, inspired by Salmani architecture, opens to vehicles on February 29, 2024, featuring three lanes in each direction, an emergency lane, and advanced traffic management and safety systems. King Salman Park, covering over 16 square kilometers, is envisioned as a multifaceted destination, offering cultural, arts, entertainment, sports, and recreational facilities to elevate the quality of life in Riyadh. #Saudiarabia #Middle #East #Riyadh #Longest

If I were to invest in Riyadh real estate today, I would definitely buy near King Salman Park Foundation. I recently found myself thinking about the future of real estate in Riyadh, and one project keeps coming to mind "King Salman Park". It reminds me of Central Park in New York, but even bigger and with more potential. Central Park has always been a prime location, with real estate around it becoming some of the most valuable in the world. I believe King Salman Park will have the same effect on Riyadh. It’s going to be the largest urban park in the world, and the impact on the areas around it will be huge. As the park develops, the value of properties nearby will likely increase, just like we saw with Central Park in New York. Plus, the park will bring cultural attractions, entertainment, and green spaces, making it a great place to live or invest. Where would you rather invest in Riyadh? #KingSalmanPark #RealEstateInvesting #RealEstate

The development of cities in Saudi Arabia is deeply connected to various tribes, which played a foundational role in establishing and stabilizing many urban areas. These areas evolved over time, especially in the 20th century, as part of Saudi Arabia’s urban landscape. Here are some examples: 1. Riyadh: Founded by the Banu Hanifa tribe and expanded under the Al Saud family, who made it the capital in 1932. 2. Hail: A key center for the Shammar tribe, thriving as a trade hub under Prince Abdullah bin Rashid. 3. Al-Ahsa: Inhabited by Banu Khalid, it became a major agricultural and commercial area before joining Saudi Arabia. 4. Jeddah: Established by Quraysh, it served as a gateway for pilgrims and was reclaimed by King Abdulaziz in 1925. 5. Taif: Settled by the Thaqif tribe, it became an agricultural and summer retreat destination. 6. Diriyah: Founded by Banu Hanifa, it is the birthplace of the Saudi state. 7.

Across various cultures, water holds immense spiritual significance. Fountains or natural springs often serve as focal points for communal gatherings and ceremonies. According to Chinese, a Feng Shui fountain helps the balance, energy and increase personal strength. Water is often associated with life, purity and renewal. In value appreciation, a water feature can lead to a direct increase in property value, due to the perceived luxury and unique character that a water fountain can add to a property. Real estate projects need more water features in Riyadh. #urbandevelopment #riyadh #realestate #realestateinvestment
