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.

Trojena and Oxagon: The Other Children of the Neom Project

Neom is not only about The Line. Trojena aims to be the ski destination in the desert, and Oxagon is gearing up to be the port that is going to buzz in commerce.

Trojena is racing against time to be ready for the Asian Winter Games, and Oxagon is gradually building its legacy.

Sindalah is that chic island that will be the postcard of Neom. With luxury hotels and a golf course that is almost ready, the island promises to be the initial taste of what Neom has to offer.

Who Pays the Bill for Neom

When it comes to money, Neom is doing just fine. The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is footing the bill with cash that could make billionaires cry.

There are several major companies around the world getting involved. The Line and its siblings are transforming the desert into a hub of innovations.

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.
