Big things are happening in Saudi Arabia’s future gigacity, NEOM. Since the last update in January 2023, there’s been a lot of exciting progress. On October 11, 2023, at 2:00 PM KSA time, NEOM Gigacity unveiled a new progress video, revealing swift advancements.
With over 60,000 workers on the ground, they’ve been making quick headway in THE LINE, Oxagon, Sindalah, and Trojena. Roads, utilities, and even a hospital are already up and running.
A Thrilling Transformation
The video doesn’t stop there. It also showcases plans for a $2 billion expansion of NEOM’s Port. By 2025, they’ll have a brand new advanced container terminal, a major upgrade to the existing one.
