Remember That Wave of Videos That Blew Up on the Internet About The Line, the Futuristic City of Saudi Arabia? Well, the Project That Seemed Like Something Out of a Sci-Fi Movie Is Taking Shape. In 2023, the Work of the City That Promises to Have No Cars or Pollution Is in Rapid Process, but Without Making Much Noise.

People are curious to know: “So, how’s the progress on The Line?” Hold on to this: 20% of the basic infrastructure is already in place. This includes roads and buildings that are the skeleton of the city. The satellite images don’t lie, showing that the desert is changing its face.

The Hidden Marina, which is part of The Line, is all set to become the largest marina on the planet. Just imagine, every week, they remove 1 million cubic meters of earth from the way. That’s a lot of dirt!

The Line promises to be sustainable, but some say that’s just talk. The construction could leave a carbon footprint the size of an elephant, and there’s also the human rights issue that’s causing a stir.

Everyone is watching to see if what is promised will come to fruition or if it will remain just a promise. The future of Neom is being written now, and the world is watching the show from the sidelines.
