Saudi Arabia’s Neom is expanding, with new additions to the mega-project revealed daily.
The latest project is a golf course but, because this is part of Neom, there’s nothing remotely ordinary about it.

Saudi Arabia’s Neom is taking shape, both metaphorically and literally, considering that ‘The Line’ – the city that looks like a horizontal skyscraper in the desert – is already under construction.
The Line is the headline act of Neom, but new projects are being unveiled almost on a weekly basis.
The newest complex that’s part of Neom is called Gidori, and it is a ‘private golf community’ in the Gulf of Aqaba.
Like other projects such as the ultra-chic beach resort ‘Xaynor‘ and the nature resort ‘Elanan‘, Gidori is designed to blend with the environment and landscape around it.
As guests approach Gidori, what they’ll see is a pyramid-shaped beach front complex with garden spaces, restaurants and stores.
At the core of Gidori is a 18-hole championship golf course, which comes with amazing coastal views of the Gulf and is accompanied by a clubhouse, and even a golf academy.
The golf course is also surrounded by 200+ private villas, an 80-room luxury hotel, restaurants and bars, a wellness center with a spa and a gym, a theater, and several swimming pools.
NEOM is an ambitious project to say the least.
It’s almost like building a new world, and the Saudi Crown Prince is not sparing any expenses.
The Line alone is a $500 billion idea.
And the entire thing – the whole NEOM ‘universe’ if we want to call it that – will reportedly cost at least $1 trillion, and yeah that’s trillion with a ‘T’.
