The Saudi capital has once again made global headlines by earning a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest pedestrian skyway. Stretching an impressive 15.46 kilometers, the skyway is located within the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), a landmark hub for business and finance in the Kingdom.
This state-of-the-art elevated walkway connects 30 buildings across the district, providing climate-controlled, car-free access for employees, visitors, and residents alike. The achievement marks a significant step forward in smart urban infrastructure and sustainable transportation solutions.
The skyway project aligns closely with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals by promoting eco-friendly mobility, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing overall quality of life in urban centers.
Designed to meet the highest international standards, this record-breaking pedestrian network strengthens the KAFD’s position as a world-class financial ecosystem and a future-ready urban destination.
