We like to keep up with news and events in NEOM, Saudi Arabia and the surrounding area. Here are some of the news sites we read regularly.
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman arrived in NEOM from Jeddah on Friday, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. The Kingdom’s NEOM’s $500 billion mega project was announced in 2017 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as part of his Vision 2030 reform program to diversify the oil-heavy economy and boost tourism.
Saudi Arabia has launched its campaign to be the sole host of the FIFA 2034 World Cup having abandoned its joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup alongside Egypt and Greece.
Almost a century after the country stumbled upon its oil riches, changing times have pushed the House of Saud dynasty to confront the critical turning point it has reached — one that demands another radical transformation.
UK-based Foster + Partners, a global studio for architecture, engineering, urban and landscape design, rooted in sustainability, has unveiled the designs for Equinox Resort Amaala, a luxury hotel, located within the mega development Amaala on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. Equinox Resort Amaala is being jointly set up by Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism destinations, Amaala and The Red Sea, and Equinox, a global leader in luxury lifestyle brands in one of the world’s most well-preserved natural environments.
Kuehne+Nagel has secured a contract from the leading global wind turbine supplier Envision Energy to transport 190 wind turbine generators (WTG) and 67 tower sets to Saudi Arabia’s new special economic zone, NEOM.
Expected to be completed in 2025, this major project involves the specialised transport of 1.4 million freight tons of WTG. A team of over 100 project logistics professionals, vessel chartering experts, transport engineers, drivers and riggers, will work together to ensure the success of the operation. A dedicated office has been established in the city of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, to coordinate teams at NEOM’s port and the wind farm site.
NEOM, the visionary sustainable development project in northwest Saudi Arabia, has unveiled its ambitious plan to establish a world-class Education, Research, and Innovation (ERI) sector. Building on its commitment to shaping a new future, NEOM is set to create a comprehensive ecosystem that fosters learning, research, and innovation at all stages of life. Anchored by NEOM U, the flagship university led by Founding President Andreas Cangellaris, the ERI sector comprises four interconnected pillars.
IHG Hotels & Resorts is continuing to grow its property pipeline across Saudi Arabia with plans to open a new Hotel Indigo property in the coastal city of OXAGON. The development of this Hotel Indigo property underscores the ambitions developers have to make OXAGON a new urban model where industry and thriving communities come together.
NEOM has appointed JLS Yachts, a leading Middle East-based yacht agency and concierge service provider, as a 'key partner superyacht agency' for Sindalah, NEOM's luxury island development.
Set to open in 2024, Sindalah will be NEOM's first tourism destination, offering visitors an idyllic luxury lifestyle experience. Sindalah is one of NEOM's 41 islands, which will be home to a world-leading yachting ecosystem with more than 5,000 berths.
NEOM McLaren has completed its 2024 line-up for Season 10 of the FIA Formula E Championship, with Sam Bird joining fellow Brit Jake Hughes at the Woking-based outfit.
Bird, who lost his seat with Jaguar TCS Racing at the end of this season, replaces René Rast and the 36-year-old is a welcome addition to the team given not only his speed but also his vast experience, having competed in all nine of Formula E's seasons.
MSC has announced that from next month it will be expanding its regional port range to include the Port of NEOM in Saudi Arabia.

It will be the first sub-zero snow destination and outdoor ski resort in the Gulf – and now developers behind Saudi Arabia’s mountain project TROJENA– part of the Kingdom’s NEOM’s $500 billion mega project – have exclusively unveiled to Al Arabiya English how they are building the vast resort in the megacity's snow-capped district as they reveal “substantial” work is underway on the vast site.
