The Abraj Kudai will cost about $3.6 billion, featuring 10,000 bedrooms, 70 restaurants and four helipads.
At 45 stories tall, the desert fortress-style hotel boasts 12 towers atop a 10-storey podium, which contains a bus station, food courts, a shopping mall and an extravagant ballroom. But five floors will be off limits to other guests — they’re reserved exclusively for the Saudi royal family.
The Abraj Kudai was funded by the Saudi Ministry of Finance and designed by the Dar al-Handasah group.
