Al-Faisaliah City (Arabic: مدينة الفيصلية) is a planned city in Mecca Province, Saudi Arabia. It will be located between the cities of Jeddah and Mecca, and is designed to ease population and infrastructure pressure on both cities.
History
Al-Faisaliah City was officially announced on 26 July 2017 by Khalid Al-Faisal, the Governor of Mecca. The project was initially introduced under the name “Al-Salmaniyah City,” in honor of King Salman, during its early planning phase.
It was later renamed “Al-Faisaliah City” by King Salman as a tribute to his late brother, King Faisal, in recognition of his contributions to the development of Mecca Province.
