I don’t think so. There haven’t been any announcements about the Oblisco Capitale Tower yet.

It looks like everything is fine. Actually, nobody is talking about the roof collapse.

Below are quotes from the museum’s CEO.

The CEO of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) Ahmed Ghoneim said late on Saturday that the limited seepage of rainwater into the museum’s main hall was anticipated by design and was not due to any negligence, adding that visitor numbers since the public opening earlier in November have surpassed half a million.

Speaking by phone to Al-Hayah TV, Ghoneim said the hall functions architecturally like an open outdoor courtyard. “There is an overhead structure that allows ventilation and natural light, and the design was made for this purpose,” he explained.

He added that the museum’s designers had planned for the possibility of rain entering through the roof openings.

He said the Great Hall contains only the statue of King Ramses II, made of red granite and exposed to the open air for thousands of years, along with two other statues that are not located directly beneath the open roof sections.

Ghoneim stated that staff handled the situation by directing water to drainage outlets, stressing that this is the only approach compatible with the building's architectural concept.

Cairo experiences rainfall on only 14 to 16 days a year, he noted. “There is no design flaw. This is a natural result of the design and will occur whenever it rains in the coming years,” he added.

Current & Future: Costa Maya Port’s Transformation into 'Perfect Day Mexico'

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cruise/comments/1mhm07g/current_future_costa_maya_ports_transformation/

How are they going to open this year?

A wave of giga-projects across the Gulf—most notably in Saudi Arabia—is triggering unprecedented demand for construction equipment rentals, as regional governments push ahead with large-scale infrastructure schemes to diversify their economies and accommodate rapid population growth.

In 2024 alone, Saudi Arabia awarded an estimated $148bn in construction contracts, the highest annual figure ever recorded by a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member, according to industry analysts. These included a US$4.7 billion deal with Webuild to construct an artificial lake at NEOM and a US$1.92 billion contract awarded to Saudi Binladen Group to resume work on the Jeddah Tower.


“The demand for rental equipment across the Middle East is huge—so much so that the supply chain cannot keep up, whether for products, people or anything else,” says Paul Rankin, managing director of Nationwide Platforms and chief operating officer of Loxam’s Powered Access Division.

Rankin pointed to NEOM, the Red Sea Project and Diriyah Gate as emblematic of a broader uptick in activity across the region, with construction and hydrocarbons forming the backbone of demand.
