The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is planning to create a £ 400 billion futuristic desert city where locals can visit shiny beaches, watch caged combat robots and drink alcohol, unlike rest of the conservative Muslim country.
The leaked documents reveal Mohammed bin Salman's vast and sometimes unrealistic ambitions for Neom, a city larger than Wales and scattered in the desert of northwestern Saudi Arabia.
The US consultants have developed 2,300 pages of plans to try to satisfy the vision of Crown Prince Mohammed, sometimes filling the gaps with technologies that have not yet been invented, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Alcohol may be allowed in Neom, a stark contrast to the rest of the Conservative realm where alcohol is banned and women can not travel without permission from a guardian.
The planning documents, which may not represent the final plan, plan to bring rain into the desert by "cloud seeding", the process of throwing dust particles into the air to favor the precipitations.
This suggests that residents pay the time spent watching "robot cage fighting," where humanoids compete for the crowd's enjoyment. Meanwhile, other robots would tidy the houses.
