Great work once again! Those avenues are so impressive. Looking forward to the Khaled City airport.

[jayo 44]

wow..nice work mate...you live in portsmouth right?

[penguin007 27]

Great update again I like the underpasses very modern

[djlee1999 3]

VERY NICE , I love the construction lot set adds more realism, good job!

[Yoman3 5]

Those wide avenues are very interesting. Express in the middle, local on the outside, Never seen that done in a city before. Nice work as always And congrats on Page 23, I remember just a few weeks ago you were at 11 or something

[panthersimcity4 162]

I love the overpasses!! And I like the aerial shot, looks really good.

[Dsrwhat316 12]

i like those underpasses for the highway. and that building on the top of the 4th pic is so cool. the marriot hotel with the diagonal lot is a great building. hell, everything about this update is great!

[skyscraper 216]

excellent update, i love the CBD

[Nik-nik 3]

Froggy, you've made an impressive CJ so far.

Very nice usage of the oriental buildings and your own bats!

I just love the Emirate towers and that big mosque.

I have two questions for you. Where does the royal family reside? Apart from the palace quite some pages back I have not seen any residence. Secondly, Gulf is getting more and more popular, why not in Khaled?

Keep this great CJ going please.

Nik-Nik

[suplado! 23]

looks cool..great update! the region pic is very nice. business district is also interesting, nice road layouts

[Sky Guy 163]

Looks great! How long will it remain the capital? Something is coming, I can feel it! Keep up the awesome work

[frogface 354]

Only a short update today but a lot of info

Sorry for lack of updates

Hopefully I intend to finish Khaled City soon so I can move onto the other regions of the Emirate!

Replies:

Giligone:Thanks, is that a hint for next update

jayo:THanks, no not anymore as i'm currently staying in my hometown of Eastbourne

penguin007:Thanks!

djlee1999:Thanks, yes construction sites are a vital part of any booming Middle Eastern city

Yoman3:Thanks, I must say I was inspired by the idea when looking at pictures of Riyadh

turned out quite well in the end though, I like the marrast underpasses. I just hope I can keep the CJ going long enough to beat my previous longest ; Thames!

panthersimcity4:Thanks, underpasses you mean since it goes under lol

Dsrwhat316:Thanks, glad you like it

skyscraper:Thanks, I guess you liked this one from your username

Nik-nik:Thanks, glad you enjoyed the update. To answer your question the royal family lives on a guarded complex in Khaled City near the airbase, there's a shot of it in this update but its much bigger and i'll do an update on it soon. There's also a smaller palace in Khobar which I think i've shown.

Also good question, the difference is that while other Gulf countries are opening up for tourism Khaled is more reluctant and prefers to concentrate on building up education, resarch and finance, also I guess that due to some instability in Khaled this makes it a less attractive destination than neighbouring countries. But if Khaled goes down the tourism route they will be looking for some rich tourists than some backpacker types

thanks for asking questions, it is always interesting to answer them!

suplado!:Thanks, the layout is quite griddy and for a non grid person it was kind of a challenge to get back into the style also good luck with your new region

Sky Guy:Thanks, for the forseeable future I can imagine Khaled City being the capital but is someting coming? well we will have to wait

[suplado! 23]

cool update...a lot of interesting info!

[OrdinarySC4Fan 0]

Awesome as always!

[KingTitan 6]

Great Update friend...the info of your Government is a an awesome touch...very creative.

[Amerikaner 42]

WOW your city is looking so nice my friend, and the info on the country was a VERY nice touch...great work I always love coming to look at what you have done so far because it is always so interesting...keep it up

Yeah, yeah same thing.

Nice update! Nice to finally see a map of Khaled!

[penguin007 27]

Great map and info there I cant wait for more

Will

[bokrif 18]

Interesting update! So the royal family rules, and the clerical council helps... What if the emir dies? I think then his son will be the new emir, but how much power does the clerical body have?

And how religious is the whole state? I think Khobar is less religious than the Khaled region. Also, have to ask, that if Khaled has weaker stability, then why does the western investment coming? I understand that one reason should be the oil, but else?

And if it is such a religious country, then how good is the education?

Your new update raises so much question. But it is good!

[jacqulina 162]

awesome work as allways my friend looking very nice and so realistic

[Giligone 10]

Very informative. Is there going to be a test on this later? haha.
