Saudi Arabia's $1 trillion Neom project is making headlines once again, thanks to stunning aerial photos that highlight the rapid progress on The Line, Oxagon, and Sindalah Resort—three key developments in this ambitious megacity.
The Line: A Futuristic Linear City Taking Shape
New aerial images shared by Neom’s project leaders provide a breathtaking view of The Line, a city that will stretch 170 kilometers across the desert. This unique design is envisioned as a vertical, linear city that could house up to nine million people. Photos reveal an impressive 120-kilometer excavation site, showcasing early groundwork that’s transforming the desert landscape. This groundwork sets the stage for The Line’s ambitious infrastructure, designed to integrate advanced AI and green technologies in a car-free, pedestrian-focused urban space.
Oxagon and Sindalah Resort: Progress in the Desert
The images also capture the development of Oxagon, a futuristic port city set to become a hub for advanced logistics and trade along the Red Sea. Meanwhile, the luxury Sindalah Resort on the Red Sea coast is nearing completion, with resort structures already standing and poised to open doors to tourists in early 2024. With its high-end hotels and amenities, aims to redefine luxury tourism in the region and contribute to Saudi Arabia's growing tourism sector.
Neom’s Visual Impact: A Project Becoming Reality
The recent aerial photos serve as powerful proof that Neom’s vision is not only possible but well underway. These images provide a cross-section of the world’s largest construction site, covering everything from city groundwork to resort structures nearing completion. Despite challenges and skepticism, the Neom project is forging ahead, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s commitment to sustainable urban innovation.
