The design idea is actually pretty good, eliminating the huge costs for grid and networked infrastructures, as everything comes off a common conduit. The "stupid" part is more to deal with who exactly is going to want to live there. Aside from being modern, there is no specific draw that would convince people to move away from their family and friends.

No. Even without all their problems, they started way too late to avoid any casualties. Countries like the UAE and Qatar tried diversifying over a decade ago to varying degrees of success. Regardless, they saw the writing on the wall and at least made efforts to parlay their oil wealth into soft power. The Saudis have done nothing but squander their wealth on vanity projects, ludicrous military spending on US weapons to play their own version of Afghanistan, export their "my way or the highway" version of Islam that has caused a lot of suffering in the world and an entrenched welfare state that would make Sweden look like Somalia in terms of enablement. You could argue that MBS tried to fix the problem, but the most he's done from most sources is put up window dressings to placate the West (driving rights for women after he imprisions one of them) and engage in a modern day version of a CK2 torturefest. I highly doubt that Saudi Arabia will be ready for a future without oil anytime soon.

Moroccan here. I don't think Saudi Arabia can ever get rid of their reliance toward oil soon. That's because with oil, they are immensely rich. And this means their population hardly carry any sense of needing education and self-reliance lessons. Don't forget most of Saudi Arabia's foreign workers are not only South Asians, but include millions of Arabs from the other Arab states (Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Yemen, Lebanon, etc.), the same phenomenon also exists in UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. I used to study in Saudi Arabia as a teenager and while I respect the kingdom, I disapprove many of its idea, which are too radical and fail to address the grassroot problem. In Morocco, our country is also rich at other resources (but not oil), but we have to learn how to be ourselves first. And also, their attempt to diversify comes too late, they have taken it poorly.

Reliance on a single export is a big gamble for every country, and oil companies were all burned in 2020. The best economies in the world diversify their portfolio so they don't collapse if a single product or market falls.

And to create an educated population it needs to take over 40-60 years to do. Without the educated populace, diversification will not meet its goals. Currently, Saudi Arabia is still relying on the foreign workforces from India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh and other Arab states. Saudi Arabia should give these people citizenship to fasten that diversification plan, or it will be longer to achieve that. You need to look at the UAE and Qatar. Despite having diversified parts of the economies, they are still reliant on Indians, Pakistanis, Sudanese and Egyptians to work.

The future is high-tech, if there is any area that countries should put a lot more focus on is that area as that is making up a sizeable part of the world economy and is only going to keep growing, on top of that, there are no limits to how far that industry can go, it's likely going to keep growing. Fossil fuels are one area that countries should really try to diversify away from and even thought it's a profitable industry for now, it's clearly going to be a dying industry over the coming decades, maybe much sooner with how Putin is using oil and gas as a political weapon as that could push the Europeans to produce alternative energy sources and I suspect a lot more countries are going to want to generate a lot more of its energy in their own countries because of energy security reasons. The irony is about that longer term, countries that produce no or very little fossil fuels could end up being the biggest winners because as they transition to alternative energy source, it would be like getting a massive windfall tax for those countries in savings by not having to import oil, gas and coal, whereas countries that produce a lot of fossil fuels are going to have a massive hole in their budget that they need to fill by other means, either those countries are going to have to become a lot more efficiency or the standard of living is going to take a big hit, the thing is about all this, countries that have little to no fossil fuels are in a good position for the future because those countries have done a lot of the reforms needed to be a lot more efficient, a prime example of that is a lot of EU countries, Japan and some others which stand to benefit the most with the transition to alternative energy sources because they are big importers of fossils now.

People think this is a joke but they will have serious problems in the future. Their leaders know this but the average citizen has no clue. I hear this word diversifying way to much but for someone that knows a little bit of economics it’s not as easy as it sounds. Even if their oil last for another 100 years they will still be in some kind of trouble in the future. They are not like the other gulf countries they have a growing population which could be a good thing in the short term but could cause some trouble in the long term. I want someone to give me examples of how they could maintain their living standards without oil. They have a huge country with other resources such as gold and minerals they already export some of it now they could maybe export some of that aswell well into the future. The hard truth is Saudi Arabia will either be reliant on tourism Mecca Medina or natural resources. Their economy will for ever be resource export economy. They don’t have the skills or talent to create multi billion dollar companies if they did we would have Witnessed it by now with all this wealth but their country has not managed to create multi national companies. Let’s divide the world in to 4 sectors number 1 the west 2 China Vietnam India 3 south East Asia Malaysia Thailand and other nations in south east Asia. 4 Africa and South America. All these different regions have different economies. The west produces high end value products and services which the whole world buys. Africa has a weak economy it completely depends on natural resources exports so does South America. China India Vietnam produce low value goods in large numbers which the world needs and they are slowly pushing upwards in their chain of exports to high value goods. When oil runs out and the world probably won’t need much oil in the future maybe some but not much mostly in industry. Every sector has been taken where will Saudi Arabia fit in to in the world economy. My answer to that is tourism and other natural resources minerals stuff like that. As I said before their population has not got the drive or the ability to produce any high value goods or service the world requires their are way more intelligent nations like Korea japan Germany UK US israel and many more that will fill that spot and they already do. Who would buy a car made in Saudi Arabia when you can get one from japan or Germany. Who would services made in Saudi Arabia when you can buy them from India Israel or the UK. The whole reason I wrote this is because it’s so easy to use this word diversifying when in fact it’s not as easy as it sounds. Their population have come to expect a very high level of living which unfortunately is unrealistic in the long run because they don’t have a serous business plan or economic plan. One more thing is Islam countries around the world will hesitate to open up their economies to Saudi goods or services if they can even manage to create any goods or services that the world requires I highly doubt it. They have a serious problems ahead of them it won’t be visible for the average person now but in 50 to 70 years this issue will be household news.

Another major factor of why Saudi Arabia wants to diversify its markets is that they have literally the reverse problem of the United States. While the United States economy might be taking a hint, I guess to put it lightly. We had so many different industries in this country and to be fair, other countries are similar that there is always an opportunity for a job market even if those job market shift over time. Side of Arabia has this weird problem where basically most of their population is capable and highly educated but they only have really one business so most of their population is unemployed and the only way to get unemployment is to go to other countries. I'm short. Everyone wants to come to the United States, hence all of our immigration rose and in reverse everyone wants to leave Saudi Arabia.

Yes. I personally am a humanist but I can understand the ruthless behaviour of MBS. The Romans, during a bad time, selected a man to be a dictator (not the bad connotation) during those times to lead decisively. Saudi Arabia had been plagued by a gerontocracy for the past decades with kings who had their formative experiences in the 50s and 60s, who were often very ill and not up to the task to reform Saudi Arabia. MBS is young - he knows the risks continuing like Saudi Arabia did. If he could create a productive economy that would benefit most of the Arab world more then the remittances send back by the brightest and best.

Saudi Arabia has many treasures that it has not invested properly, and its success depends on the government’s vitality to double the profitability in all its treasures. Oil, for example, can generate many transformative industries that double the profitability by times their current profits. Saudi Arabia is rich in archaeological sites. Profits can be maximized in archaeological, heritage and cultural tourism and not focusing on the city of Al-Ula Just The benefit of logistics services can be maximized, especially since Saudi Arabia is in the heart of the old world, and logistical support services are required in all means of transportation. The utility of metallurgical processing industries can be maximized for large and medium industries, equipments etc. I think this stage is important for Saudi and foreign companies to achieve great profits from investments in promising opportunities in precision industries in all sectors

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that they're doing the exact same thing as before, exporting minerals. Sure, it might do something for them but you're not making anything. Why aren't they refining their fuel, making plastics, trying to start chip manufacturing or some industry that's making things. They should be giving loans to Saudi Arabia people to start a businesses to manufacture stuff. This project seems to me to be doomed for failure. How can anybody think this is really going to change anything? It's just more of the same in a different coat.

They are making plastics. But, then they have to export that, but to whom? Making plastics is easy and cheap. Little margin in that. Their banks also do make investments into local businesses. Their actual problem has (in my opinion) three aspects. 1. High level. Current standard of living as a native in Saudi Arabia is very, very high. So, they can fall deep and have difficulty to rise. Tourism, while nice, falls here flat. There is just not enough money in the pilgrims to keep teh Saudi standard of living. (Very high starting point) 2. Market. In the case that Saudi Arabi does succed in producing competitive products/services. Who is going to buy their stuff? The direct neighbours are poor or depend on oil. Europe/USA are amazing markets, but competition for an exporter into these markets is global and very harsh. They would have to do catch-up in every market they invest in. (No nearby customer) 3. Means of production. Local conditions: Just aweful. Human ressources: Dependant on imigrants for high and low skilled labour, overal aweful. Capital: Amazing! (Loopsided means of production) This is a mixture for an investment/banking hub. But, finance hubs do best when connected to a trade port and/or major economy. All the big ones already have established banking. Carving out a niche here is either super expensive or a waste of money. Banking could do great, if there would spring up a neighbouring economy, with high investment needs. ....and now it's hoping Africa will explosively grow.
