The King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) pronounced \u201ccake\u201d is one of the most ambitious projects of Saudi Arabia. The city was built from scratch and is continually developing and hundreds of thousands of residents have already moved in. KAEC continues to grow as jobs and industries are growing in it by the day. Once completed it expected to be larger than Washington D.C. Here are 10 things we love about the place.<\/p>\n

1. Look at its beautiful sandy beaches.<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

10. KAEC has clubhouses, an 18-hole golf course, a health complex and state of the art amenities all of which are making us jealous of its residents.<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
