| Additional Information | The Islamic World District (IWD) project occupies a prime strategic location at the intersection of King Abdulaziz Road and Prince Nayef Road, in the southeastern zone of Knowledge Economic City. The company has allocated approximately 900,000 square meters for the development, which has been designed in line with the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept. Ideally situated just 100 meters from the Haramain High-Speed Railway Station, the project is directly connected to it through the Madinah Gate Project, the first TOD development in the Kingdom, ensuring seamless accessibility. |
The IWD project harmoniously blends modern urban design with Islamic architectural heritage and the distinctive styles of various Islamic nations, creating a comprehensive cultural and civilizational destination that aligns with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 and supports its flagship programs, particularly the Doyouf Al-Rahman Services Program (Pilgrim Experience Program – DARP). The first phase of IWD will provide over 5,000 hotel rooms alongside diverse residential units, contributing to the Housing Program and the Kingdom’s broader vision for sustainable urban living. In addition to hospitality, entertainment, shopping, dining, retail, and museum components, the project enhances quality of life through thoughtfully designed parks, green spaces, and pedestrian-friendly plazas. Internally, it is connected to other components of Knowledge Economic City through smart transportation systems such as electric vehicles. The Islamic World District is set to become one of Madinah’s major landmarks and a key contributor to achieving the goal of increasing the number of visitors to Madinah — establishing itself as a new cultural and premier destination within Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah.
