Its not quite the same place, but this is the same area of the world with enough money to build

- the highest building in the world

- an indoor ski slope in the desert

- an artificial island group with 10,000 exclusive houses shaped like a tropical tree

- I could go on

I don't see why this isn't a serious proposal. With enough money, anything is.

There is literally not enough money in Saudi Arabia - or any country - to build something as patently impossible as this.
