NEOM
TABUK PROVINCE
Saudi Arabia
NEOM is a large-scale region in northwest Saudi Arabia, developed under Saudi Vision 2030 to diversify the economy and create new models for sustainable urban and economic development. Spanning approximately 26,500 sq. km across mountains, desert and the Red Sea coastline, NEOM is evolving as a connected ecosystem focused on clean energy, advanced technology, industry, infrastructure and liveability.
Rather than a single city, NEOM comprises several interconnected regions such as THE LINE, Oxagon, Trojena, Sindalah, Magna each exploring distinct approaches to urban living, industrial innovation, and tourism. Together, they represent a bold effort to rethink how people live, work and connect, and to shape a more sustainable, technology-enabled model for the cities of tomorrow.
