Pedal to the metal, the city of play is almost here.
Located about 40 minutes away from the Saudi capital, Qiddiya is where you go to work hard and play harder.
While the official opening is still coming, many exhilarating attractions and events have been announced.
Add to that, the first-ever FIA Extreme H World Cup Qiddiya City.
Set to be the successor to Extreme E, the environmentally-friendly off-roading race series on the calendar, Extreme H will be powered by hydrogen.
The October race will drift into the Saudi city of play and is set to be the first official event to be held in the city of sports and entertainment.
