The death, on March 1, of the creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, at the age of 68, caused a wave of global emotion, reflecting the immense popularity still intact of his work. First published in 1984, Dragon ball is one of the best-selling manga of all time and has spawned countless anime series, films, and video games. It tells the adventures of Son Goku, a young martial arts prodigy in search of seven crystal balls to help him and his allies protect the Earth from evil enemies.
A project started in 2019
The new city of Qiddiya is one of the pharaonic projects of Saudi Arabia’s ”Vision 2030” program to develop the tourism industry on its territory and reduce the great dependence of its economy on hydrocarbons. Qiddiya will eventually host several theme parks, sports facilities and cultural venues. Construction work on the city began in 2019, but its completion date is not known.
