Qiddiya (Arabic: القِدِّية, romanized: al-qiddiyya / al-giddiyya, pronounced [ə- alɡɪdːijːa]) is a planned entertainment and tourism megaproject in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
[11] There is a partnership agreement between Qiddiya and the University of Central Florida to train young Saudis on hospitality, tourism and sports management.
The inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was scheduled to be held at the course in December 2021, but because construction was unfinished, the event took place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Because of the Formula One Group announcement in November 2020 that a Grand Prix would be held at the circuit in 2021,[14] the Saudi government allegedly paid tens of millions dollars to maintain hosting rights after completion of the project was delayed until 2027.
Six Flags Qiddiya, which is currently under construction, is planned to be the largest theme park in the Middle East at 79 acres (0.32 km2),[17] and is expected to have multiple attractions.
