Whilst many countries in the world have now halted construction work and paused projects for the foreseeable future, it would appear that Saudi Arabia are continuing to move forward.
Construction work on the first phase of Diriyah Gate has resumed in the past few weeks as plans are set to transform the Old Town into one of Saudi Arabia’s foremost historic cultural destinations, which is situated only fifteen minutes away from downtown Riyadh.
“The investments in massive upgrades and infrastructure are continuing despite the economic climate. We have literally begun work in the world’s largest cultural and heritage development,” Danielle Ainslie, Chief Marketing Officer – Diriyah Gate Development Authority.
Ainslie considers work on a giga-project during this time as a “great global message. There are economies that are still thriving, and Saudi Arabia is one of them. Irrespective of COVID-19, it is business as usual and the focus is on Vision 2030 and realizing Vision 2030,” Ainslie concluded.
