hundred thousands square meters approximately, extending from the extremities of
the mosque to beyond the second circular road to the north and from the Holy Mosque
Street to the east and Jabal al Qaaba road to the west.

necessary studies to start the phases of the development. The development will necessitate
a period of ten years at a total cost of 40 billion riyals, and it is undertaken
through phases starting with developing the infrastructure and providing the location
with all the services, thus escorting the most modern regions in the world.
The project is developed in coordination with the Higher Commission for the Development
of Makkah and by following the planning and details directives and requirements
established by the Commission, to keep the balance between the public and private
interests.
