Located 50 kilometres from the Gulf of Aqaba coast, lies Saudi Arabia’s TROJENA – a snow-capped tourist destination, and part of the Kingdom’s megaproject NEOM. With elevations ranging from 1,500 metres to 2,600 metres, covering an area of nearly 60 square kilometres, the destination is set to be transformed ahead of the 2029 Asian Winter Games. Saudi Arabia is the first country in the Middle East to host the games, which will feature 32 participating nations.

Event to be held at TROJENA sports city as kingdom becomes first country in the Middle East to be awarded the games - despite being in a desert and not being in Asia. 

Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday it had been chosen to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games at a planned mountain resort in the kingdom's $500bn NEOM project. NEOM's yet-to-be-built TROJENA sports city was the only candidate for the 2029 Asian Winter Games, which have not been held since 2017 as the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) has struggled to find hosts. Saudi Arabia will be the first country in the Middle East to host the games, which first took place in Japan in 1986.

Manhattan has been reimagined as a single long vertical city, in a similar manner to NEOM’s THE LINE in Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Arabia’s futuristic city of NEOM announced earlier this year THE LINE, a 170 km vertical city that can be travelled end to end in 20 minutes. THE LINE, part of the $500 billion NEOM project, will be built on a footprint of 34 square kilometres.

The new vision for Manhattan sees the borough’s 8.93 million people placed in a “zero gravity” 34 kilometre square vertical city which will enhance nature, according to a video on THE LINE’s website.

Somewhere along the Red Sea, close to the Suez Canal, Saudi Arabia is building a floating city it touts to radicalise the global manufacturing industry – the OXAGON.  Shaped exactly how it’s named, the new city is part of the Kingdom’s NEOM megaproject, and is focused in creating a new logistics centre that will redefine “world’s approach to industrial development in the future,” Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman said at the time of the launch.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) has ambitions to build an ‘alcohol paradise’. It is located in the city of NEOM.  NEOM is one of Saudi Arabia’s projects to start relying on tourism, industry and renewable energy. So far, Saudi Arabia has relied more on the oil sector for its economy. NEOM is part of Saudi Vision 2030 and is expected to be completed in time for 2030.

If confirmed, this will be the latest rule implemented by the royal government that makes Saudi, a conservative country that still implements Islamic sharia law, more moderate. Saudi Arabia has banned the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages throughout the country.
