While the excitement and anticipation is already mounting for the giga-project, this YouTuber has a far deeper take on Neom, Saudi Arabia.
The mega project will cover over 26,500 kilometers in northwestern Saudi Arabia.
However, this content creator believes it’s far more than just a geographical location.

“Neom is to redefine what a city can be, to push the boundaries of human imagination and ingenuity,” he began.
“It’s more than a place, it’s a mindset, a testament to the power of dreams and the tenacity of the human spirit.”
“Neom isn’t just a city, it’s a glimpse into the future of civilization.”
Although the mega-development was originally clouded in mystery, we’re starting to see a clearer picture of what it will look like following a series of announcements over the past year.
The mega scheme, which will cover 26,500 square kilometers, will contain 10 distinct developments that it terms regions.
By far the best-known and largest project within the Neom development is The Line – a planned 170-kilometer-long city.
There will also be Oxagon, Trojena, Sindalah, Leyja, Epicon, Siranna, Utamo, Norlana, Aquellum and Xaynor.
While the unprecedented project is awe-inspiring, YouTuber, Mr Explorer maintains that the beauty is more about the idea behind it.
“[It’s] not just about creating a city but about reimagining how we live, how we work, how we interact with our environment,” he said.
Nestled between the Red Sea and the mountains, Neom is a place where nature and technology coexist in harmony.
A catalyst for change, it hopes to marry tradition with technology and drive diversity and economic growth in the area.
And it’s not going to take a toll on the planet.
Every element every detail is “designed with sustainability in mind” and that “harnesses the power of technology to enhance our lives not hinder them.”
We can’t wait to see more.
