Saudi Arabia announced plans on Saturday to build a 334-square-kilometre “entertainment city” south of the capital Riyadh, to feature sports, cultural and recreational facilities including a safari and a Six Flags theme park.

The kingdom’s Public Investment Fund will be the main investor in the project, which will break ground in 2018 and open in 2022, according to a statement by deputy crown prince Mohammed bin Salman carried by state news agency SPA.

 Other local and international investors will also provide capital, the statement said, without elaborating on the size of the investment.
