I am fond of new technological advancements but I wonder if such megastructures are sustainable from perspective of hundreds of years.. if it wont be too expensive to keep.
Not sustainable. It needs rare earth. Technology is limited by rare earth supply. There is no such thing as green technology since global warming (climate change) is a hoax. The Club of Rome published The Limits to Growth book in 1972 which is the basis of today's fake Agenda 2030. Bill Gates comes out with a fake carbon equation P x S x E x C = CO2 that demands the PEOPLE (population) to be greatly reduced or culled (depopulation). One way to do it is through the pandemic, and the wars, and the famines and the deaths according tho the Book of Revelation. And this they call it as THE TRIBULATIONS. Saudi Arabia is making a great mistake with the Line because they never consider the sources of great Truth in the Qur'an and Hadith. Saudis are too secular and too materialistic, and this is their formula of DOOM. Money is not everything. In the end, the SPIRITUAL is the answer.

Great suggestions, I don’t know if it’s going the way you r saying in Neom. But we’re planting 10 billion trees in Saudi Arabia generally speaking. 🎊 🎉
A very successful project The location is very beautiful, there is a variety of terrain, as well as the most beautiful beaches you can see with crystal water, with pure air and acceptable atmosphere. And many do not know that Mount Sinai is also located in it. And you can imagine the size of the human flow there, especially as it is located in the heart of the world at an equal distances from all directions. Really a successful project
Historically, green projects promise green, but have non-green backups. When the green fails, the backups become the norm and more so inefficient than if they had been the primary implementation in the first place. Experimentation and small scale conversion work out the kinks that slay large projects like this or leave them finished but desolate. It'd be nice, but I'm not optimistic about the project.
The bigger issue is the surveillance state and lock down capabilities these "15 minute" cities will have. Anyone living in these will NOT be able to over throw a tyrannical leader.
I agree in a way but, on the other hand, the reason why big scale projects are usually abandoned are lack of funding. Saudi Arabia does not have these type of problems. They may get it.
I am curious and skeptical. The design images keep changing. Questions remain about wildlife corridors, storm flows to the sea, social structures of liv8ng in a line, and water sources.
Don't know about these projects but the metro and city bus project in riyadh are still not completed even after 10 years . The whole city of riyadh is disrupted due to regular blockage in areas where these projects are going on i.e everywhere in riyadh🙄🙄🙄. These projects are going to meet the same fate.
There's difference between building the largest transportation system from scratch within 8 million residents, and building a new project on a remote area, also Riyadh's metro is not completed due corruption suspicion and COVID-19, and for your information Riyadh's bus project will start in 2 weeks, metro in coming months
@SulimanArch I do understand this. But how could they stay lose on this matter of metro . I hope everything gets sorted out as quickly as possible. As far as line and neom is concerned we are keeping our fingers crossed 🤞. And hope we can fly to these destinations as soon as possible.

Big projects in large established cities always take longer and go over budget. There new projects are creating cites etc and thus won't run into the problems of construction in heavy populated areas.
It's common, it isn't easy to make a new project in running a city. Saudi Arabia is self-made by the government, we don't have drinking water but still, we get 24/7 water, and most countries with land or rivers are lacking 24-7 water.

The workers of this architectural masterpiece have celebrated a year of building the massive infrastructure of this project without any injuries. They are already working with all means of security and comfort. By the way, the climate in this area is mild, so do not worry ☺️

A large portion of the city won't be located within the structure like an airport, stadiums, convention centers, geothermal powerplants, water reclamation and deslination, as well as industrial zones and warehouses. Access to open water will be limited for resorts and yacht docks. Expansion inside the structure will also be very difficult. If a hotel needs to grow there won't be anywhere to go. Up? Down? or acquisition of other spaces possibly homes. The structure will also have the issue of modernizing in the future. Creating new spaces in already existing spaces within the constraints of a verticle shell with public areas located below. Hopefully, the A.I. they are using can navigate the logistical nightmare in future modernizations of the city. I still love the idea of this city.
Highly ambitious indeed. CZcams is full of naysayers including the highly respected Simon Whistler saying that it cannot possibly work. I would remind everyone that in 1970, when Sheikh Raschid Al Makhtoum of Dubai proposed the biggest port in the GCC, Jebel Ali to be built, on the edge of the desert, everyone quietly thought he was bonkers. Now it is home to 9500 companies and is considered to be the world's leading free zone. Good luck MBS.
It doesn't. I suggest watching Logan's Run. To control the population, Noone lives past 25. There's no elderly, using up resources and not contributing. Noone to pass down history to the youth.
I see two types of comments here: 1. Skepticism, particularly about how people will live here, and 2. Optimism and awe. I am at the first camp, but I can feel the second's sentiments at times.
It's great but would love even some of that money going to develop water security and greening the desert projects. But it's their country and they can do what they like. Other countries like Australia and America need to increase diverse native forests.
@@mohammedaljohani1195still they haven't started to green, their greenable areas. Then after the cheap energy runs out? How will they keep on dessalinating water? And what about the uncontrolled birth rates? Do you have locally grown food for all that people? What happens when the goverment bribes run out? You people can't even set the basics properly.😂
Travel Destination city - yes Habitat - no no Worried about permanent residents of the city with no access to even natural light and no expandability on second dimension and forced to expand vertically to leave nearby to most important services like hospital, schools, gardens, natural open space
I’m curious if they succeed. I think the line will be the most challenging one. I question the materials they are using. A mirror facade will burn everything around it. People on the bottom part will have nearly no light. It looks very unnatural the shape of the line and doesn’t work with the natural habitat and shapes. I’m very pessimistic about this project. Too many problems and challenges. I’m worried it will be wasted money they could have used to improve already their existing cities where communities already exist. Who will live there ???
@@dfinlen There wouldn't be sand, they are cultivating trees there and there would be landmarks around the line. The region they have choose because of its soil. They aren't a fool, they have researchers from Stanford and Oxford, and obviously, they have taken all care while launching the project.
@@MichaelAndreLucasWinterdaal🪂 The reflections of the 🧭S-storefront will cause a heat-dome with thermics towards the wall.🪟📤 Winds broke bridges 🌬🎼🌉🌉 bc of interference.🏗
Until a mega sand storm buries it!! Sands storms are so powerful they even travel across the ocean!! And this line is open in the center!! Can you imagine the mess??
Rome, London, Beijing there are lots of ancient mega sites which are still vibrant, the project will, like most mega sites, need to adapt to remain relevant.
Everything about this project is on a pretty massive scale. The dream is awe inspiring, and I have to say humanity needs things like that more than ever. Awe inspiring bold leap forward kind of projects, sadly, often come with costs we'd rather not have. How many mega projects have displaced people, villages, etc? Pretty much all of them. Environmental sustainability is something we are still trying to figure out... and honestly, if we don't try, we never will figure it out. So I'm all for this attempt. Will it work? There really is only one way to find out. Sindalah looks beautiful. I wish they were not only catering to the rich with a luxury tourism thing, but I get why projects start with that. Great way to make back money quickly. The Line is really stunning internally... and if transportation and modularity can be worked out it has very real potential to transform the urban sprawl way we look at cities now. I can think of a lot worse ways for the Saudi's to spend their money.
this isnt a bold leap forward.. its a rich playland built on the backs of the poor. the only reason this looks like a good idea is if you are part of the problem
500 billion won't come close to building 2 buildings 170km in length. This is beyond ridiculous and will become a giant failure, or more likely will be MASSIVELY scaled back.
This will be a beautiful turd 😂 It'll be spectacular I'm sure but for how long 🤔 they'll most likely cut corners in construction because of the enormous price and when you plan on housing that many people in one mega structure your getting all types of different people. I imagine billion dollars projects 20yrs after completion
This is very ambitious, but it’s too much too soon. People don’t want to go to the desert 🏜️ this region can become very unstable at the drop of a pin. I do admire the vision💯

@@ItsMe-yv9jd That’s a very romantic scene you just painted there, but actually there are videos of the worker accommodations and their manufactured homes look dope.
In fact, I am opposed to building cities or residential complexes, i.e. I am opposed to seeing the pale gray color of cement and bricks... etc. Instead, I prefer green, agriculture, plants and water! And this is the real urbanization.
Muhammad bin Salman said that you have to speak and criticize, and we have to work, and you will soon witness the resounding success. We Arabs are the origin of civilizations and crazy inventions, trust me! 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Despite this success, will Saudi Arabia get veto power in security council ? Is saudi arabia Will become the third most powerful country after USA and China ?? Will Saudi Arabia be called a complete Islamic country? Will Saudi Arabia be able to lead the islamic countries? Will Saudi Arabia be able to play a major role in fighting hunger in the world specially african muslim countries ? It is necessary for every Muslim to understand why he has come into the world and what is his target. We love SA the land of prophet mohammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم The land of kaaba from start to end
I think they are Smart to invest now for the future as oil business will be replaced soon by new types of energies developed under the Earth in Switzerland
$500B could make Saudi master all important technology and become a super power country but instead create projects that only make Saudi a big consumer, it's better to master and develop technology than create an entertainment city
Dude y'all are forgetting about the Euphrates river prophesy. This project may not be completed. So wherever they get in the project it may just get destroyed.
Awesome opportunity to plan and build a completely new city on brand new infrastructure instead of modernizing centuries old plans. Not surprised about the human rights violations though unfortunately.
Very ambitious and the work is certainly coming on a pace. As beautiful as the images are, I do wonder at life at the social level. Pretty sure those dwellings are not intended for people who have to count pennies which brings into question the desirability of living 'just like everyone else'. You will be living in a vivarium. The level of organisation for the work so far is at a high level. Those digging machines can be counted in their hundreds, not dozens. But, mistakes and omissions do happen. The Burj Khalifa, at $130 billion still has no sewage system so, a small army of tankers has to line up each day to take it away. Lets hope those resorts on the Red Sea have adequate treatment facilities or those thousands of species of fish will become a memory quickly. Human Rights Violations accusations? Not accusations, well established and recorded.
The Burj Khalifa cost 1.5 billion and it does have a sewage system. It wasn't immediately implemented because foundation work wasn't completed around the area and is super complicated due to shifting sands. Dubai is one of the few countries in the world that treats 100% of the waste water.
You westerners talks too much about human right yet your countries invade other countries kills innocent people and millions escaping to Europe, and causing migration crisis
The artist sketch of the place shows only European Nordic looking people inhabiting the place. Is this another place built and reserved for Westerners like Du Bai?
It is an ambitious and innovative future project. Our world is full of challenges that this project faces. It is an attempt to save the planet. If it succeeds, the credit will be to God and then to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which initiated the construction of this great project.
why are they building that city in the toughest spot? mbs has huge ambitions but it seems unrealistic, this could be the end of al saud kingdom if the plan fails,
Man should live in harmony with nature,. Desert green 🍏💚🍏💚🍀🍀🍀-ing 💚🍀💙 and rewilding, introducing nature and biodiversification first are more important 🤗💚🍀💙
Some of these future cities are near water. The sea levels will rise. So they're wasting their time and money on cities that will be flooded by sea water in a few decades.
Oh, good, because the super wealthy just don't have enough places already catering to them. When I look at all the problems facing humanity the one thing that stands out above all others is the lack of luxury resorts.
I am so inspired by the Saudis. This is mind blowing. This is the beginning to a real answer to all the damage we’ve done to Earth, this completely perfect place we get to live. I am so hopeful now. I heard they stopped having religious police there a generation ago. Thank goodness! This is truly magnificent. What brilliant minds have come together for such a purpose? This is the most inspiring experience to learn about. I feel revived, like humans are as still as good at adapting as we ever were 🙌
Neom is located near the Gulf of Aqaba. Abraham (the father of 3 religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and his descendants lived in the region from the Sinai region, the Paran dessert to inland regions belong now to Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. Moses led the Israelites leaving Egypt crossing water that could be somewhere in the Gulf of Aqaba. Recent findings and research of Dan Gibson could prove that the birthplace of Muhammad and the original Mecca could be in Petra, now Wadi Musa, close to this Gulf of Aqaba. Thus not in the current Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Could Neom hold some part of this history too?
There’s some digging done and people think substantial and significant progress is happening. 😂 This is not even 0.1% of the things needed to be done based on the promises.
20,000 people will be forced to relocate to accommodate the planned city. On 13 April 2020, Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti of the Howeitat tribe, who is native to the area, posted videos online announcing that Saudi Barbarian security forces were trying to evict him and other members of the Howeitat tribe from their historical homeland to make way for the development of Neom. In the videos, Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti said that he would defy the eviction orders, although he expected that Saudi Barbarian authorities would plant weapons in his house to incriminate him. He was later shot and killed by Saudi Barbarian security forces, who claimed he had opened fire on them. London-based human rights activist and fellow Howeitat tribe member Alya Alhwaiti disputed this version of events, stating that al-Huwaiti did not own firearms. Eight cousins of al-Huwaiti have been arrested for protesting against the eviction order. In October 2022, the Specialized Criminal Court of Saudi Barbaria sentenced three members of the Howeitat tribe to death for resisting displacement. The three men were arrested in 2020 for opposing the eviction of their tribe for the project. One of the condemned men, Shadli al-Howeiti, was the brother of Abdul Rahim al-Howeiti. Everybody who will ever be involved in planning, live ther or visit these killing desert, has blood on their hands and feet.
So the line can house 9M people comfortably? That's enough for half of all Saudi nationals, or all 20K members of the Saudi royal family, plus all of their their respective entourages and retinues.
Although this project is under early construction, it has been on my preferred feed on CZcams, to see the design, engineering overall costs n the enormity of something like Neom LINE actually being built. From the start, the comments sections and even certain youtube bloggers have dedicated themselves to hate for any n everything to do with the Line. The lunacy. A failure. Complete bull$#it undertaking. Fake. Dumb idea with no real prospect. Ha. Wonder how they liking the line now?

Hopefully, the A.I. they are using can navigate the logistical nightmare in future modernizations of the city.
I still love the idea of this city.
Highly ambitious indeed. CZcams is full of naysayers including the highly respected Simon Whistler saying that it cannot possibly work.
I would remind everyone that in 1970, when Sheikh Raschid Al Makhtoum of Dubai proposed the biggest port in the GCC, Jebel Ali to be built, on the edge of the desert, everyone quietly thought he was bonkers. Now it is home to 9500 companies and is considered to be the world's leading free zone. Good luck MBS.
I can’t wait to see them finish, I’d like to go and visit it when it all done.
Stunning technology will be there, I hope so.
Only time will tell if it is a good thing…..if built as shown I think it will be a good thing if it is affordable
Why you care about the price !!! The Monet for him
How is a linear city supposed to organically grow?
It doesn't.
The other direction of course. The line won't stay that way for sure.
It doesn't. I suggest watching Logan's Run. To control the population, Noone lives past 25. There's no elderly, using up resources and not contributing. Noone to pass down history to the youth.
Longer and higher if they really must..
It is a linear prison, actually.
A good leader brings great things for his land and his people.
I'll surely visit there when the neom project is over 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣Me too, I love visiting ruins in the desert 😂😂😂😂😂
@@btudrus loll

@@ArabiaBallSA Neom is not sustainable. It is just another chimaera. It will not last for long...
They cant make 1 km building naw they want a 170km x 500m one😂😂😂 dictator brain fart.
The future is coming ❤🇸🇦

My thoughts are if it's that long it's a big wall blocking nature animals and other things from Crossing
I see two types of comments here:
1. Skepticism, particularly about how people will live here, and
2. Optimism and awe.
I am at the first camp, but I can feel the second's sentiments at times.
It's great but would love even some of that money going to develop water security and greening the desert projects.
But it's their country and they can do what they like.
Other countries like Australia and America need to increase diverse native forests.
Are you for real? Saudi Arabia is the world's largest producer of desalinated water
@@mohammedaljohani1195still they haven't started to green, their greenable areas. Then after the cheap energy runs out? How will they keep on dessalinating water? And what about the uncontrolled birth rates? Do you have locally grown food for all that people? What happens when the goverment bribes run out? You people can't even set the basics properly.😂
Trojena makes sense but the line and floating industrial city are such a waste of money. They should pour that money into existing cities and ports.
Go, Saudi Arabia. Just do it! May Allah guide and bless you.
if it's to be so green why not cover it with solar panels not mirrors
Because those cost real money to maintain.
I think this is an amazing project and we should support it to see how it works as perhaps the future for Cities in general.
Don't let BLM, 'the homeless' & Antifa downtown or it'll look like downtown Detroit before 2050.
Travel Destination city - yes
Habitat - no no
Worried about permanent residents of the city with no access to even natural light and no expandability on second dimension and forced to expand vertically to leave nearby to most important services like hospital, schools, gardens, natural open space
Hey, I am Saudi, do you live in a hole or what? My friend, Saudi Arabia is now advanced in everything, but you are sleeping in a hole 😂
don't worry they'll cover all of that it's going to be good for habitat hun
They should call it the sail… Am sure they will solve many engineering challenges designing and building this thing 👍
I’m curious if they succeed. I think the line will be the most challenging one. I question the materials they are using. A mirror facade will burn everything around it. People on the bottom part will have nearly no light. It looks very unnatural the shape of the line and doesn’t work with the natural habitat and shapes. I’m very pessimistic about this project. Too many problems and challenges. I’m worried it will be wasted money they could have used to improve already their existing cities where communities already exist. Who will live there ???
you do realize its mirror right >>>>>>>>?????and maybe the first floor wont be "ground" level"
What about sand storms won't the sand just pile up. I suppose the prevailing winds are not against the line.
@@dfinlen There wouldn't be sand, they are cultivating trees there and there would be landmarks around the line. The region they have choose because of its soil. They aren't a fool, they have researchers from Stanford and Oxford, and obviously, they have taken all care while launching the project.
@@Maanaka 😂
@@MichaelAndreLucasWinterdaal🪂 The reflections of the 🧭S-storefront will cause a heat-dome with thermics towards the wall.🪟📤
Winds broke bridges 🌬🎼🌉🌉 bc of interference.🏗
This project will fall completely apart just like all their other ridiculous vanity projects.
Until a mega sand storm buries it!! Sands storms are so powerful they even travel across the ocean!! And this line is open in the center!! Can you imagine the mess??
This is a natural mountainous city, not a desert, and snow falls in it every year in winter, and it is in the north of the Kingdom
😂
Rome, London, Beijing there are lots of ancient mega sites which are still vibrant, the project will, like most mega sites, need to adapt to remain relevant.
Hope to see the city one day ☺️
We all hope it fails before it starts.. for thousands of reasons.
@@koopa5504 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you guys so nice.
A city? I call that a megalomaniac prison...
My main concern is whether birds will fly into that mirror and die which has a great possibility of happening.
They would go over it.
This just sounds too good to be true
Everything about this project is on a pretty massive scale. The dream is awe inspiring, and I have to say humanity needs things like that more than ever. Awe inspiring bold leap forward kind of projects, sadly, often come with costs we'd rather not have. How many mega projects have displaced people, villages, etc? Pretty much all of them. Environmental sustainability is something we are still trying to figure out... and honestly, if we don't try, we never will figure it out. So I'm all for this attempt. Will it work? There really is only one way to find out.
Sindalah looks beautiful. I wish they were not only catering to the rich with a luxury tourism thing, but I get why projects start with that. Great way to make back money quickly. The Line is really stunning internally... and if transportation and modularity can be worked out it has very real potential to transform the urban sprawl way we look at cities now.
I can think of a lot worse ways for the Saudi's to spend their money.
slave labor is still not ok
@@jessigirlrae1688 Didn't suggest that it was.
this isnt a bold leap forward.. its a rich playland built on the backs of the poor. the only reason this looks like a good idea is if you are part of the problem
@@organizm420 so has every move forward been. Cars. Trains. Planes. Every advance has been initially only affordable by the wealthy.
@@mycroft16 this isnt forward, this is just excess... as long as there is parking for the luxury yachts i guess we should all be happy
Thanks for that awesome information
Imagine they do a street takeover and start doing drifting and riding on two wheels in the middle of the line
This country girl couldn’t live in that but it’s sounds awesome! I’ll see it, I’ll see everything when I come back with Jesus at his second coming!!
Who remember the game 🎮 Spec Ops The Line?It was end of Dubai there
Where will they get the water from? What happens if you get stuck right in the middle of it with malfunctioning transport?
500 billion won't come close to building 2 buildings 170km in length. This is beyond ridiculous and will become a giant failure, or more likely will be MASSIVELY scaled back.
Are you kidding?
This will be a beautiful turd 😂
It'll be spectacular I'm sure but for how long 🤔 they'll most likely cut corners in construction because of the enormous price and when you plan on housing that many people in one mega structure your getting all types of different people. I imagine billion dollars projects 20yrs after completion
This is very ambitious, but it’s too much too soon. People don’t want to go to the desert 🏜️ this region can become very unstable at the drop of a pin. I do admire the vision💯
True, no safe place to invest in @ all.
My heart goes out to those faced with the exhausting, soul crushing task of working all day, every day, in those horrific desert conditions. Not unlike the building of the great pyramids, untold tens of thousands of enslaved people will have suffered and died during this monumental building process, while an elite minority will benefit from the final result... mans ego knows no bounds. (And again, the enslavement and suffering of so many will simply be forgotten to history, as it is rewritten to favor an untouchable elite.)
@@ItsMe-yv9jd That’s a very romantic scene you just painted there, but actually there are videos of the worker accommodations and their manufactured homes look dope.
Yes, the Saudis show the world again how to convert the desert into a amazing place.
God bless Saudi Arabia
there are people who are afraid of zombies when these projects are finished they will be the safest but the big boss how will he be
In fact, I am opposed to building cities or residential complexes, i.e. I am opposed to seeing the pale gray color of cement and bricks... etc. Instead, I prefer green, agriculture, plants and water! And this is the real urbanization.
Doomed to failure if it's completed. When people no longer have a purpose, there will be massive unrest.
Muhammad bin Salman said that you have to speak and criticize, and we have to work, and you will soon witness the resounding success. We Arabs are the origin of civilizations and crazy inventions, trust me! 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
The origin of wat 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Extraordinary 👍
Despite this success, will Saudi Arabia get veto power in security council ?
Is saudi arabia Will become the third most powerful country after USA and China ??
Will Saudi Arabia be called a complete Islamic country?
Will Saudi Arabia be able to lead the islamic countries?
Will Saudi Arabia be able to play a major role in fighting hunger in the world specially african muslim countries ?
It is necessary for every Muslim to understand why he has come into the world and what is his target.
We love SA

Still waiting for my fling car
AWESOME!
I think they are Smart to invest now for the future as oil business will be replaced soon by new types of energies developed under the Earth in Switzerland
Sounds like the Line will be amazing and biggest “jail” in the world.
Looks like a sail to fail.
China building Biggest poisons
Great job
Where is the Airport for these Millions of People?
$500B could make Saudi master all important technology and become a super power country but instead create projects that only make Saudi a big consumer, it's better to master and develop technology than create an entertainment city
Will the sunlight reflecting off the mirrored exterior cook the ground for hundreds of yards away from the base of the walls?
Reforestation of Saudi Arabia and building net zero houses would be a better solution.
Remember the Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab. Both looked unfruitful at the start
Well looks amazing, Just wondering where Greta Thornburg is right now and why is she not protesting his extremely non-green infrastructure?
Probably burned out, smoking fags and looking like a wreck lol
Dude y'all are forgetting about the Euphrates river prophesy. This project may not be completed. So wherever they get in the project it may just get destroyed.
Looks dope
Will be delivered by 2030 in MetaVerse !
No the project is irl
Lol that was my thought too
Awesome opportunity to plan and build a completely new city on brand new infrastructure instead of modernizing centuries old plans. Not surprised about the human rights violations though unfortunately.
What are human rights from your point of view?
Very ambitious and the work is certainly coming on a pace. As beautiful as the images are, I do wonder at life at the social level. Pretty sure those dwellings are not intended for people who have to count pennies which brings into question the desirability of living 'just like everyone else'. You will be living in a vivarium.
The level of organisation for the work so far is at a high level. Those digging machines can be counted in their hundreds, not dozens. But, mistakes and omissions do happen. The Burj Khalifa, at $130 billion still has no sewage system so, a small army of tankers has to line up each day to take it away. Lets hope those resorts on the Red Sea have adequate treatment facilities or those thousands of species of fish will become a memory quickly.
Human Rights Violations accusations? Not accusations, well established and recorded.
The Burj Khalifa cost 1.5 billion and it does have a sewage system. It wasn't immediately implemented because foundation work wasn't completed around the area and is super complicated due to shifting sands. Dubai is one of the few countries in the world that treats 100% of the waste water.
You westerners talks too much about human right yet your countries invade other countries kills innocent people and millions escaping to Europe, and causing migration crisis
The artist sketch of the place shows only European Nordic looking people inhabiting the place. Is this another place built and reserved for Westerners like Du Bai?
If this is ever finished it will be a hiding place for the rich and powerful. And who wants to go to that forsaken desert. Not me.
I can only think how much the property will cost there. Millions of dollars
he said 500 billion
or do you mean for one living space
It is an ambitious and innovative future project. Our world is full of challenges that this project faces. It is an attempt to save the planet. If it succeeds, the credit will be to God and then to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which initiated the construction of this great project.
why are they building that city in the toughest spot? mbs has huge ambitions but it seems unrealistic, this could be the end of al saud kingdom if the plan fails,
Hope Al Sauds family get overthrown
It's the future, NEOM should happen, whatever it takes
Man should live in harmony with nature,. Desert green 🍏💚🍏💚🍀🍀🍀-ing 💚🍀💙 and rewilding, introducing nature and biodiversification first are more important 🤗💚🍀💙
Their nature is a desert, then building a city on a desert without turning the desert into a forest means they are in harmony with nature
Realistically it looks more like a sumptuous bonker where to shelter for the rich and powerful of the earth... In anticipation of??..
I want to live in Neom
Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Some of these future cities are near water. The sea levels will rise. So they're wasting their time and money on cities that will be flooded by sea water in a few decades.
Oh, good, because the super wealthy just don't have enough places already catering to them. When I look at all the problems facing humanity the one thing that stands out above all others is the lack of luxury resorts.
I think the cost of building a orbital elevator would be cheapen than the line and they can easily build colonies on other planets. -
I am so inspired by the Saudis. This is mind blowing. This is the beginning to a real answer to all the damage we’ve done to Earth, this completely perfect place we get to live. I am so hopeful now. I heard they stopped having religious police there a generation ago. Thank goodness! This is truly magnificent. What brilliant minds have come together for such a purpose? This is the most inspiring experience to learn about. I feel revived, like humans are as still as good at adapting as we ever were 🙌
In french Nom or Nwo. The city of Nwo
Neom is located near the Gulf of Aqaba. Abraham (the father of 3 religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and his descendants lived in the region from the Sinai region, the Paran dessert to inland regions belong now to Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. Moses led the Israelites leaving Egypt crossing water that could be somewhere in the Gulf of Aqaba. Recent findings and research of Dan Gibson could prove that the birthplace of Muhammad and the original Mecca could be in Petra, now Wadi Musa, close to this Gulf of Aqaba. Thus not in the current Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Could Neom hold some part of this history too?
There’s some digging done and people think substantial and significant progress is happening. 😂 This is not even 0.1% of the things needed to be done based on the promises.
maybe because ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED AFTER 8 MORE FUCKING YEARS DUMBASS. of course its gonna take long.
@@COURIER169 It's not gonna be finished in 8 years. It's not a lot long time.
20,000 people will be forced to relocate to accommodate the planned city.
On 13 April 2020, Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti of the Howeitat tribe, who is native to the area, posted videos online announcing that Saudi Barbarian security forces were trying to evict him and other members of the Howeitat tribe from their historical homeland to make way for the development of Neom.
In the videos, Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti said that he would defy the eviction orders, although he expected that Saudi Barbarian authorities would plant weapons in his house to incriminate him. He was later shot and killed by Saudi Barbarian security forces, who claimed he had opened fire on them.
London-based human rights activist and fellow Howeitat tribe member Alya Alhwaiti disputed this version of events, stating that al-Huwaiti did not own firearms. Eight cousins of al-Huwaiti have been arrested for protesting against the eviction order.
In October 2022, the Specialized Criminal Court of Saudi Barbaria sentenced three members of the Howeitat tribe to death for resisting displacement. The three men were arrested in 2020 for opposing the eviction of their tribe for the project. One of the condemned men, Shadli al-Howeiti, was the brother of Abdul Rahim al-Howeiti.
Everybody who will ever be involved in planning, live ther or visit these killing desert, has blood on their hands and feet.
they will develope it slowly 5 km stretch a time
What's beyond the wall? nothing, no one goes beyond the wall.
So the line can house 9M people comfortably? That's enough for half of all Saudi nationals, or all 20K members of the Saudi royal family, plus all of their their respective entourages and retinues.
Although this project is under early construction, it has been on my preferred feed on CZcams, to see the design, engineering overall costs n the enormity of something like Neom LINE actually being built.
From the start, the comments sections and even certain youtube bloggers have dedicated themselves to hate for any n everything to do with the Line.
The lunacy.
A failure.
Complete bull$#it undertaking.
Fake. Dumb idea with no real prospect.
Ha.
Wonder how they liking the line now?
where ca i find more video that you mention not hating but it seems that they arent constructing anything as far as i know they still preparing the area
