The building will be the centerpiece of New Murabba, a community the country hopes will be a new destination within the capital city of Riyadh.
The interior as currently planned will feature enormous holographic projections aimed at making viewers feel as if they are in different realities, times, and places. The interior will also feature a swirling tower for observation decks and restaurants, from which the projections will emanate.

The Mukaab is planned to be the centerpiece of a giant new downtown built within the Saudi capital city of Riyadh called New Murabba. It will be the world’s largest single-built structure with around 2 million square metres (22 million square feet) of interior floor space. The cube is intended to be 400 meters (1,300 ft) tall and 400 meters (1,300 ft) wide on each of its four sides.
