Saudi Arabia is set to build the largest park in the world, the King Salman Park, in Riyadh as part of its broader transformation efforts despite economic challenges.
The Gulf countries have increasingly become hotspots for massive investments and ambitious urban projects, yet green spaces are often rare due to the region's water scarcity that hampers vegetation. In response to these challenges, Saudi Arabian authorities are embracing an unprecedented initiative to create the largest park in the world within the capital city, Riyadh. The King Salman Park, named after the reigning king of Saudi Arabia, aims to offer a green oasis in the desert.
