Forging a future: New Murabba and the Saudi dream

On this joyous occasion of Saudi National Day, we extend our warmest congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Their visionary leadership has ignited a transformative journey for the Kingdom, one that is marked by ambition, innovation, and unwavering resolve. 

This year’s National Day theme, “We dream, We achieve,” resonates deeply with the spirit of New Murabba. We are not just building a new modern downtown; we are building a future where dreams take shape and become a reality. New Murabba stands as a testament to this principle, a living embodiment of Saudi Arabia’s aspirations.

New Murabba is more than an urban development; it is a symbol of the Kingdom’s ambitions and aspirations. We are building a city that reflects Saudi Arabia’s rich culture, while embracing the latest innovations in technology and sustainability. From the iconic Mukaab to the lush green spaces and world-class amenities that it will host, every aspect of New Murabba is designed to enhance the quality of life for its residents and visitors. 

Our work aligns seamlessly with the Kingdom’s broader vision. We see New Murabba as a model of the nation’s future, a place where the Kingdom’s goals for a thriving, diversified economy come to life. As such, we are committed to fostering a vibrant ecosystem that nurtures creativity, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth.

At New Murabba, we also envision a community where people connect, collaborate, and flourish. We are creating spaces that inspire, that foster a sense of belonging, and which contribute to enhancing the overall well-being of Riyadh’s residents.

As we celebrate Saudi National Day, we are filled with optimism for the future. We see a Kingdom poised for greatness, driven by the energy and ambition of its people. New Murabba is proud to be part of this remarkable journey. We are committed to contributing to the Kingdom’s progress, and to building a future where dreams are not just realized but surpassed.

On this special day, we reaffirm our dedication to the Kingdom and its people. Together, we will continue to build, to innovate, and to shape a future that reflects the true spirit of Saudi Arabia. Happy National Day!
