Saudi Arabia awards $750m contract for the biggest regional water theme park – The National

Qiddiya Investment Company, the developer of multi-billion dollar entertainment destination in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh, awarded 2.8 billion Saudi riyals ($750 million) contract to build the kingdom’s first and the region’s largest water theme park.

The contract was awarded to a joint venture of Alec Saudi Arabia Engineering and Contracting and El Seif Engineering Contracting, QIC said in a statement.

The park will cover 252,000 square meters of land and will be home to 22 rides and attractions — including nine that will be world firsts. It will span nine zones, inspired by animals that inhabit the areas around Qiddiya.
