Not long ago, the country of Saudi Arabia announced some ambitious plans. Their goal? Build the world’s first trillion dollar futuristic megacity which will be called Neom. Now, some updates have come out regarding a new development.
As part of this project, directors have revealed plans to construct a jaw-dropping hotel complex called Leyja that will be carved into the walls of a giant canyon. The project is intended to help end the country’s dependency on oil wealth and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
Neom is set to be an incredible tourist destination like no other. It will span 170 kilometres of desert and stretch 200 metres wide, and is set to include some mind-boggling features such as an artificial moon, flying taxis, robot security guards and much more.
Plans are also in place for it to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games at its Trojena development which includes outdoor skiing, a man-made freshwater lake and nature reserve.
Leyja will start from the Gulf of Aqaba coast and its alluring waters in the west and will wind inland to form a magnificent natural valley carved between 400m high mountains. It will feature three state-of-the-art hotels designed by leading architects who aim for them to blend seamlessly with their surroundings while providing guests with distinct experiences.
The first hotel is tailored towards thrill seekers with rock climbing opportunities available while the second property promises guests an “enchanting gateway” through its striking staircase ascending from the canyon up to its entrance – offering unrivalled views along with fine dining options run by renowned chefs.
The final hotel will focus on wellness retreats complete with high tech reflective facades mirroring their beautiful surrounds. All three properties boast rooftop infinity style pools perfect for relaxation or leisurely dips in their luscious watery depths.
The prospect of Neom being built may excite many but there is controversy surrounding it too due largely in part due to local tribes being evicted from their land during construction.
