I've worked on various mega-projects all over the world, some good, some not so good, and some downright TERRIBLE!!
I really enjoyed the three-years ('82-'85) I spent at Yanbu, but I'd rather be here, than there.

Oh, before I forget; a special thanks to my Yanbu bud, 'Khun Johnnie K.' for the nice props.
much appreciated

"By any measure, the creation of a major city in the vast emptiness of the Arabian desert merits the title “Project of the Millennium.” Envisaged more than 30 years ago by H.M. King Faisal as the path to reduce the Kingdom’s dependence on crude oil exports, upgrade its precious natural resources, diversify the national economy, and ultimately, raise the standard of living of the entire Saudi population, the groundwork for this extraordinary undertaking was laid when Parsons was commissioned to develop the Master Plan for a new city to be constructed on the Red Sea coast. The city would be called Madinat Yanbu Al-Siniayah."
