What’s coming at Neom: Sindalah Island will be the megacity’s first tourism destination – The National

First unveiled by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2017, Neom is a new destination being created on the kingdom’s Red Sea Coast.

It's part of Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision, which aims to diversify the country’s economy away from oil.

Spanning some 26,500 square kilometres, making Neom more than twice the size of Lebanon, the futuristic destination will be home to smart cities, trade ports, luxury resorts, research centres, sports and entertainment venues, and tourist attractions.
