There's too much secrecy about this project.

Do Muslims really want their most Holy City turned into a conservative version of Las Vegas?

|
so is it just going to be a hotel for rich people on their haajes
|
I'm not taking a stab at Muslims, but it's really quite sad to see any religon exploited or commercialized as this. What's worse, if this was an American project, extremists would probably burn it.
|
Exploited or commercialized is an understatement, I think. It's going to have a mall/shopping center in the bottom of it. I thought it was only going to be a premium hotel for the area, but I guess they're going after shoppers as well.

That's what i was thinking. As far as i know, there is nothing more than a few stories around The Vatican. |

Intresting project. I just don't like it as I would rather it be something that fits with the Mosque in tersm of architecture. If the building was say in Jeddah instead it would be great.
|
^ I wonder if it were more white/light tan, rather than brown w/green windows, it would have fit in better.
|
While doing Dubailand update, makes me wonder if it belongs there

OMG!!!!!!! That thing is massive! It's amazing what they've been building out in the Middle East.

Very interesting.

I really hope that's the new design! It looks so much better then the old ones. It just looks a lot more cohesive and put together.
