Hello one and all...
I'm starting this thread for you so we can get this contest on the way. Basicly on this thread nominate the wonders of Saudi Arabia (manmade). The two most voted for sites on this thread will be entered into a poll on the main ME forum...
Out of the ~18 contestant structures (in the final poll) the seven most voted for shall become the 'Seven Wonders of the Middle East and Africa'. C'mon guys this is all for fun and to show off what the ME & Africa has to offer architecturally, so NO politics here please...

Makkah, Grand Mosque
Medinah, The Prophet's Mosque
Madein Saleh
Kingdom Center
Hejaz Railway
King Fahd Causeway
Old Jeddah
18
The oil wells and the pipelines
In my humble opinion , The Seven Wonders of Saudi Arabia should be:
1. The Kingdom Centre, Riyadh.
It represents modernity and beauty of design
2. Mada'in Saleh/Al-Ula (or Cities of Shelah).
They represent how rich this land is when it comes to antiquities.
3. The Kaaba (The Mosque is excluded), Mecca.
A major pilgrimage destination for over 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, also because it is estimated to be over 4000 years old.
As to why I believe the mosque should be excluded, it's because I think the mosque itself does not represent a value of beauty whatsoever.
4. Marble Village, Al-Baha.
It's an amazing place that points how great these natives were in building castles and mansions.
5. Tribe of Alma Village, Abha.
Also another amazing village, this one is fully built on mountains. It kinda resembles the Yemeni style of building, but I think it's more special and different.
6. Mosque of Juatha, Al-Hassa.
The second mosque built on purpose in Islam, the first Friday sermons in Islam were held there. It also had survived a lot of environmental factors and other kind of factors.
7. The Old City of Jeddah.
Built in a really beautiful manner with its own architectural style that no other city has in the whole world.
Sorry guys for the crappy quality of the pictures.. Peace out :nocrook:
