Aerial photos combined with drone footage displaying their construction progress surfaced on NEOM social media accounts with a note about its tangibility to naysayers skeptical of the $500 billion vision of the country's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
It follows previous video updates from January and October of 2023. Since then, several additional developments (including Leyja, Epicon, Aquellum, and Siranna) have been announced.
The first construction phases will reportedly be completed by 2030, with the British firm Atkins retained to oversee delivery of The Line, which is by far its largest and most technically challenging portion.
Around 60,000 workers are reported to be on each construction site combined. The Saudi state has spent $5.6 billion in on-site temporary housing for workers at every location. Bechtel is also on the ground at work, delivering the base infrastructure plan for NEOM.
The entire project is scheduled to culminate by 2045, with an anticipated nine million residents included in the total 10,200-square-mile scheme.
