Botanical garden complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
King Abdullah Gardens (KAGA), previously known as King Abdullah International Gardens (KAIG) (Arabic: Øدائق الملك عبدالله), is a unique and ecologically sensitive botanical garden located in Riyadh, the arid desert of central Saudi Arabia.[1] The project is designed to focus on mankind’s understanding of the process, consequence, and study of climate change.[2]
The KAIG project began in Riyadh and is poised to become one of the primary educational resources in understanding climate and sustainable development.[3][1] The gardens will be built within two interconnected, crescent-shaped biomes, reflecting the site’s passage through time. The Garden of Choices will reflect what could happen in the future if climate change continues or is arrested.[1] The project is planned to be one of the largest temperature-controlled gardens in the world.[4]
So far, more than 40% of KAIG operations have been completed.[5] The project is reportedly slated to be completed by the autumn of 2025.[4]
The contract for the implementation of the 210-ha King Abdullah International Gardens project was awarded to Zaid Alhussain & Brothers Group. The contract, worth $427.4 million (1.6bn SAR), was awarded by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Municipalities and Housing.[6]
