Looks like Neom/The Line is encountering some setbacks. Still hope it goes into "production", I'd like to visit it one day.
Saudis Scale Back Ambition for $1.5 Trillion Desert Project Neom
Quote:
Saudi Arabia has scaled back its medium-term ambitions for the desert development of Neom
:
By 2030, the government at one point hoped to have 1.5 million residents living in The Line, a sprawling, futuristic city it plans to contain within a pair of mirror-clad skyscrapers. Now, officials expect the development will house fewer than 300,000 residents by that time
:
Officials have long said The Line would be built in stages and they expect it to ultimately cover a 170-kilometer stretch of desert along the coast. With the latest pullback, though, officials expect to have just 2.4 kilometers of the project completed by 2030
