There would be no public entertainment spaces, essentially.

Now it's full of them.

So that has been delivered on.

Major sporting events have attracted people to come on visa specifically for those events.

But it's these mega projects.

This ski resort that was going to be built was meant to be ready in 2029 for the Asia Winter Games.

Now is being delayed.

The line.

This was a city which was essentially going to be half a kilometre skyscrapers facing each other for 170 kilometres through the desert.

It never looked like it was going to happen.

And it isn't now.

It's been very much curbed and curtailed.

And all this news has come out really just in the past week or two.

The ambition of it was so extreme that it could never match that.

And, you know, remember that Saudi Arabia is going to host the World Cup in 2034.

So I think some of this is...

is looking at what money they have now and where they can get the best bang for their buck.

And also certain things that they cannot back away from.

I mean, the World Cup, they can't.

They have to come up with extraordinary stadiums and so on for that.
