Philippe Gas took on the position of CEO at the Qiddiya Investment Company in November of this year.

“This is a super exciting project. It is the world’s biggest venture when it comes to entertainment, sport, the arts, all together and integrated. This has never been done before. So the complexity of it is exciting.

“It is almost three times the size of Walt Disney World. It is huge. This is a place that will, by its size, offer people days of entertainment.”

Construction and infrastructure

“So this is going on, powerlines, electricity, preparing the land, flattening it, getting it ready for the construction for the different sites. This is, I would say, so far on pace. We have, as a focus for the coming few weeks, mostly between now and the early next year, a lot of work around mobility and transportation to Qiddiya from Riyadh.

Embracing Saudi culture at Qiddiya

“So it’s the celebration of life on one side. But it is also embracing the history of Saudi Arabia and the culture of Saudi Arabia and looking to the future. This world that we are creating will be all about innovation and technology, and things that you have not even seen before.

Sustainability

“Waste management, water consumption and biodiversity are the top three that we will focus on. We are also working with local companies and local producers so that’s another piece of our contribution to sustainability.”

Qiddiya city, an entertainment development located on the outskirts of Riyadh, will be home to the kingdom's first theme park. Qiddiya Investment Company said it awarded 2 billion riyals ($533 million) worth of contracts since construction began at the site last year.

Site is still on track despite Coronavirus.

Major construction has already started at Qiddiya, despite the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. Potts comments: “Given the phase of our project, we were able to keep on with the site work and infrastructure work. The Qiddiya IT and HR teams did a remarkable job in preparing us all to migrate to working from home, in the virtual world. We adapted well. So, it’s not impacting any opening dates or anything like that. We have been very fortunate.”

The giga-project in Saudi Arabia is being developed in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and is still on track to be opened in 2023.
