This is the most expensive building of all time

isn't this right by that mecca cube? they probably make a killing on all the hajis checking in every year

> $14 billion
> for a clock tower
> in the era of smart phones
why do Arabs waste their wealth like this?

kitsch and gaudy

whoever designed and approved that has no taste

You forgot the part where a wahhabist demolishes it.

I can't wait for them to run out of oil and for all this stupid shit to fall to ruin.

one can only wish

looks like scenary straight out from kingdom hearts

If this was in an European capital everyone would be saying how impressive it is
Hypocrites

why are arab high rises so ugly while asian high rises are the GOAT?

If it was in a European capital it would actually look good.

How many sex slaves do you think are in there at any given time

Bet Allah loves the House of Saud for that one.

That's what Mecca is now.
Because ancient religious sites aren't supposed to have shitty vegas tier gaudy buildings.

When oil will run out entire middle east will become wasteland

Not going to happen

Well said, both the house of Saud and the house of Wahab are jewish.

shit i forgot that middle eastern oil is infinite by the grace of allah

Surprised the most expensive building in the world isn't in NYC. I know NYC has a large handfull of multibillion dollar properties. The Trump towers and whatnot. The world trsde centers were pretty fucking expensive

And they destoryed a 1000yr old castle to build it.

looks like a chintzy hotel complex.
Why can't modern arabs into architecture?

Saudis have no concept of taste and decorum. They also do not appreciate history. Wrt to Mecca, at least they are doing it to pamper the pilgrims but at the cost of erasing more than a thousand years of historical buildings.

can any tourist even afford staying in that bastardisation of a building?

shame, I love Arab fortresses and and Iranian mosques, they rival gothic cathedrals in beauty and complexity.

Lol, classic burger post. NYC is not the centre of the universe, my obese friend. This will surprise you: there are many larger and richer cities around the world.

but none as iconic dumb dogfucker

Except for the LA metro area, the US is considered part of the NYC metro area. That's over 300 million people. Nothing else even comes close, fag

Looks like a Las Vegas Casino.
Literally everything built in the Islamic world that has impressive aesthetics is in fact Persian in origin.
Arabs really are a primitive tribal people.

Wahhabis are the ones who push this stuff. They want to bulldoze every historical building in Mecca and replace them with shopping malls and hotels

there's nothing wrong with destroying idols user

The Big Ben is shit

I will not die until Saudi Arabia gets nuked, even if it means dying in 1000 years.

A casio would be so much cheaper.

I heard that Mohammed wanted religious pilgrimages to be happy moments and free of stuff that brings you stress. Would a giant clock defeat the purpose of that?

There are Chinese cities which could fit your entire population, desu.

Most Muslims I've talked to hate it. It looms over the sky of The Sacred Mosque, toltally ruins the aesthetic. Also the clock face lights up a hideous neon green, very distracting.

Yeah I do not like it either, they don't have any sense for aesthetics at all

I see the house of sa'ad is finally embracing their supervillain side.

wtf, that looks like ass

based

the neon lime is very cartoonish

Didn't they also destroyed Muhammad's grave?

I thought shit like this would cause a total Jihad against Saudi Arabia.

No they just built a dome over it

No, but they destroyed the graves of his family

you realize the middle east has been the only force to stand to your snow nigger kind for thousand of years before oil was mass produced

Saudis created and control jihadis.

>we have to destroy all idols, in other words anything with historical or cultural significance
>but everybody prays towards a meteor cube

and now it has come to be overly reliant on oil and will fall to pieces when it runs out

Hajj seems kind of comfy and based. I bet it is really comforting and exhilirating to be one of so many other people dressed in white there for the same purpose. And only muslims can go to Mecca. I bet it feels like brotherhood

The Saudis are building what will be the world's tallest building with height of 1,000 metres in Jeddah.
