now someone explain to me what point of the king abdullah university of science and technology is and why anyone would want to study there and not at say harvard or cambridge or some well-known marine sciences institute

Because you get a ~$2-5 million dollar budget for setting up your lab and equipment, plus a lot of money to do research there. Had a buddy in grad school who got the offer. Since she was a woman, she declined, but having somebody willing to throw such levels of funding for starting your lab and beginning your academic career is pretty tempting stuff, especially since you can also just use some of that money to publish with a big name professor for legitimacy in your research.
