The Desert Castle

A brand new capital – in the middle of the desert! And an Icon building – a Taj Mahal, or a Sydney Operahouse that will be the gateway to the city and a symbol to the entire world!
This is what His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi in The United Arab Emirate Ras Al Khaimah has commissioned. The Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta has been invited to present their vision for this uniqe and gigantic project.
