About 60 miles North of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where the desert meets the Red Sea is a hyper-modem metropolis in the making. Constmction cranes crowd the sky. Hundreds of workers labor under the sun, turning sand and dirt into palm-lined promenades, bubbling fountains, and glass covered skyscrapers. The first phase of the project, which involves the construction of a seaport, an industrial zone, and a residential city district, is close to completion. When fully finished, in 2025, King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC http //207.5.46.159/en/Home/index.html) will stretch over 70 square miles, house some 2 million people, and offer one of the most competitive economic investment destinations in the world.
