There is always something special when a project of this magnitude becomes a reality. Jobs, prestige, exposure, pride, distinction, identity... SO long as it is not a government boondoggle it should serve the community and nation well... The Prince is a very astute man and will take the peoples opinions into consideration of course.

In reiteration to S. Abdullah's posting dated 7 August, I also think that private citizens investing this project has nothing to do to build government project. They are building this project as a private citizens. In fact people of Jeddah will be the most to benefit this project very soon...
