- Saudi Arabia wants to build a massive ski resort called Trojena. They were also selected to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games. In this video, we take a closer look at the plans for this insane megaproject and whether it makes sense to build Trojena in a desert region.

What's your take on this? Are you rather skeptical or do you think the development in Saudi Arabia is a good thing?
Yes
I am not sure if they will get it done in time for the games but I like the ambition of the project.
I think it will fail just like the line
Not sure if this the right thing to do unless its done scientifically economically cost reducing is not against the natural environment and of course labour friendly. Mind you I am not against any mega projects in fact love them but some things are too absurd.
Doesn't matter what country, development is a good thing and good luck to them.
I'm pursing my Masters in Luxury Management right now, and this is being taught as the future of luxury hospitality.
2:02 those skiers are going uphill 🤣
That’s just another mega project for artificial gravity :)
Amazing video I love watching your videos!
What's going on with Saudi Arabia and their insane ideas 😅
They love goooollld
They have infinite money glitch
the thing is they are running out of crude oil so they want things for running their country and they chose tourism because they have infinite money😂😂😂😂😂
They smoke some drugs and what they imagine, they build it
I wish my country Pakistan had that kind of money for winter Olympics. We already have more than 5k glaciers and perfect spots for skeeing, some places can reach -40°C as well.
A winter games in Pakistan seems far more feasible (and appropriate) than in Saudi Arabia, but yeah not sure if the finances are available for that
@@b8IIinIndia has the money and mountains though,but they only can do it in the winter…
As a Saudi I do wish for that to happen. Pakistan is a beautiful country with good people.
Islam is a global brotherhood. Where is your brother Saudi now? Your question make sense and a Saudi investment in your country could be the start for a nice partnership, at least in tourism. Saudi could be "paid back" with a contract of free use of the ski resort in your country. If brothers need to pay back. If there is a brotherhood in reality?
Even if someone gives you money, your leaders use it fund terrorist activities against India.
Neom is actually crazy !! The funding for these projects are gone be in trillons ! For sure 😎
They already announced that the budget is over 1T$
Trojena, The wall, Saudi Arabia is about to become the metropolis of the world, as long as they actually finish these
U mean the Line. And don't forget about Sindalah also
Hahaha True 😂
This is insane. I can't imagine them delivering this in time. Or ever.
That's amazing video really liked it its very informative ❤❤
Sounds more like a brain freezer then a winter dream in one of the hottest spots in the world. Thumbs up for the cleverness of nosens Projects.
The Saudi city of Tabuk is snowing every year in winter. I hope you educate yourself.
Google Helps maybe to educate me!!?! Lets see ohh today 23C at night 9C hmmm perfect your right best place for a ski resort. Maybe takes just some days to get snow ahh I see January high chances that at night it drops under 0C.
@@marchammermann9124 lmao i visited tabuk and it snows alot there
@@marchammermann9124Western Ignorant
@@marchammermann9124 google?.. Hahaha.. 😂😂😂 have you been there?.. Idiot islamphobia..
Great Video!
thank you :)
Here we go again...67% people in my country been draft for this project 😭😭
I think this is amazing, I can’t wait for the day that I can visit this country, and experience all of the things that one day were not even imagined
I wouldl Ike to say If they can build it and keep the world interested it would be awesome I would love to see it.
Creating artificial Snow in the mountains from desalinated water is an exceptional way of 'hydrating' the region through-out the year.
Water stored as snow, ice, is the most effective way of storage with a slow release. The Snow of Colorado is what keeps the SW USA Green and makes California the fruit and veg basket to the USA. Saudi with snow caps that melt, irrigating the entire region will not only make the entire area Green, it will make it a highly productive agricultural zone. Israel and Egypt use water and desalination to be self sufficient in many varieties of fruit, veg, and aqua-farms. Breeding, growing, harvesting fish from man-made tanks, lakes, ponds, etc are the most efficient way to produce products of same size, age, weight for the food supply chains.
What about all the brine wate product created from desalinating water??
The amount of energy required to desalinate, freeze and spread that water as snow would be be so carbon intensive. They will make the environment worse for all of us, just so they can have their winter games in the desert. Insanity
@@benjaminlee6578 Do you ask the same question when London build a desalination water processing facility? Or any other cities/countries?? Salt has many industrial needs. If it was not needed we would not be mining it from Under the MedSea...
@@Triad72 OIL/GAS in abundance... as well as Solar! Energy is a NON-issue and definitely not a problem in the Middle West / Middle East.
Once a sufficient amount of water has been turned to snow and ice, the spring and summer run off from the mountains will turn the entire region into a lush green 'fruit and veg' bread basket. Once this level has been reached, it will become a self sustaining cycle of evapotranspiration water cycle.
BTW, fyi: we past the global warming tipping point in the 1970s. The waters are going to Rise. Large sized projects will be required to reduce the sea level rising:
Atmospheric Scrubbers, Desalination to make usable potable water, filling the below sea level parts of the world (Death Valley, Dead Sea, Red Sea, Africa Rift Valley, Caspian and Arial Seas, and Tarim basin... even as far as filling the Rocky Mountain trench with potable water. The greater the amount we can turn to Ice, is the less of a degree of sea level rising.
Energy, energy, energy... that is very Yank-ese Speak. Solar panels in just a small part of Sahara or Saudi Arabia could produce multiple times more power than is currently used by the entire Human Population... even with 50 to 100 billion humans living a Eur-Asian standard of living.
This is funny. That would be rediculously inefficient. They could just desalinate the water and use it. Desalination is expensive and takes a lot of energy. This will be a money pit.
it will be, i am sure, it is amazing
Saudi Arabia has a lot of extremely ambitious projects. I hope they succeed, it will be good for humanity
Awesome like watch
I wanna see what will happen
the line: *goes in construction*
top luxury: talks about saudi arabia more
One of the first to watch your factual video today, That's kind of lucky and great.
Thanks for watching
They have so many projects going on that look amazing. I know they wanted to complete most by 2030. The only question is where are all these people coming from to build these projects...
Bangladesh slaves. Same as every UAE project
from all around the world
From the poorest countries in the world, where they’re told a bunch of lies to get them to sign away their rights, and live in modern slavery. Their passports are confiscated, their wages are next to nothing, they're beaten, and even killed on the "job".
The western who object these projects are the first one to send their resumes as engineers and architects
Indians who mock arab and islam are the most applied as labours
They don't kidnap people to work. People around the world come begging for work.
labours from india pakistan bangladesh china and phillipnies
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge.
Wow, i've seen a lot of recommendation about Salvador marshall, is he really that good.
Yes, Salvador marshall is the best he's the only one I can leave my investment with and think less about it, he is my money maker. I just received €13,000 of my investment last month. I am very happy because he is leading me to financial freedom.
Same i here, i will praise mr Salvador marshall over and over again because he has great skills, i started with $2000 and after 2week i received a returns of $6,000 then i continue with him ever since he has been delivering.
I'm glad to see Mr. Salvador marshall mentioned here, my spouse recommended him to Me after investing $4000 and he has really helped us financially in times of COVID -19 lockdown here in Australia 🇦🇺
I think it’s amazing and everybody concerned about his footprint should really be concerned about those lithium mines in Peru because that’s worse than fucking natural gas oil and carbon emissions put together OK the lithium mines stop trying to preach every other bullshit to us
when you talked about saudi arabia hosting the world cup 6:30, that was the emblem of Argentina and Uruguay's proposed and in fact rival 2030 world cup hosting bid, not the official world cup symbol or indeed the saudi-egypt-greece one!
A Ski resort needs bellow zero temperatures and tons of snow (water), commodities not found in the desert. Saudi Arabia´s capacity to engage impossible projects, endure failure, and then proceed to even crazier ones is truly amazing. Vast wealth can allure architects and bribe media into this make believe egotrip.
I love that you doesn't have intro, and doesn't really promote your channel in the middle of the vids. Keep it up gang.. you're still underrated considering you haven't reach 1 mil
thanks
Can you imagine if they actually manage to pull this off.
Yup, only for it, to be abandoned later by the end of Olympic games
This is sad, what a waste of space & money, if they can't keep it, they shouldn't build it, neither host a winter olympic games
@@uhm175t won’t be abandoned.
It’s part of neom, their way to diversify their economy away from oil towards tech companies and tourism.
Trojena will be the sports, wellness and entertainment part of neom for the rich westerners.
It has to and will stay
They won’t, this dudes full of shit.
@@fredericoduvel3092 it would be abandoned no matter what.
2-3 months of season and what about the rest time?
>> For rich westerners. LOL
artificial slides are boring
@@user-yj3mf1dk7bno it’s not gonna be abandoned and the reason why is the structure in this project has never been in our world, it’s gonna be a tourist attraction and also it’s not for rich it’s part of neom project which they’re doing 3 cities each one are for a specific thing like trojena is for entertainment and sports and a lot of ppl go there cause it snows every year for 2 months in the mountains where the project is located, and snow in the desert wow ofc it’s not gonna be abandoned, second Oxagon it’s industrial city, and the line is the main city of neom like it’s the capital
No words..let's see the world what will happen ....?😌😔🥰
From what I heard, Saudi Arabia is the only country who offered to host the Games. So, since there was only one candidate, even when the venue is unsuitable, Saudi should be selected.
Lol That's what the video SAYS.
LOL
A ski resort in the desert? What a rarity! I still reside not very far away south of the nearest ski resort in the desert that's once impacted by a wildfire a few years ago. At least it was closed at that time in one late spring.
In the winter this place become cold and in some years the snow fall
@@user-nq6hy2tm2z Since it hasn't been snowy in KSA, there will be artificial snow laid on the terrain. Just fit for the Winter Olympics.🎿
I read that Saudi Arabia will build the tallest tower in the world with a length of 2 kilometers, next to King Salman Airport in Riyadh, which will be one of the largest airports in the world.
They suspended it's building for a while now
@Europe is better than the US lol
Your profile photo is true
@@R0DBS2
It is a new project in Riyadh, now the tallest tower in the world is being built in Jeddah, and the tallest tower in the world will join it in Riyadh
ITS GOOD TO MAKE THE DESERT MOUNTAIN ALIVE AND BECOME GREEN AGAIN
But costs a lot of energy and water, which the population of Saudi Arabia needs
Nope, it's not cool for them and just burn money can't make money from it. They're just rich kid who want to look cool and think can make money from it
@@cheesecake7159 yeah, thats what I am saying. They don´t care for their populatuion
How can it matter, if their main export product is oil, a fossil energy, which accelerates the rise of Earth's climate?
@@herrblub3361 honey the live of Saudi prapole is better than many western countrys.
Kudos to Saudi Arabia and the visionary Crown Prince 🙏🙏🙏
You can also ski UP the mountain! 2:00
IF the Saudis manage to pull this off (and that's a big if), I'm sure that the finished product will fall far short of the concept drawings/videos.
Sure thing buddy
Hope it looks close enough
@@IbrahemAlbanawi nah
It's not even the aesthetic of the resort though. The technology to pull this off will change how to host future Winter Games if they pull this off. Especially with Climate Change decreasing the number of days where snow falls in Ski resorts in Europe and Asia.
6 years to do all this.
Got to love the created drama since none of this is unprecedented. OMG they gotta make snow do you think they can do it? Just know that contrary to popular belief you can make snow in above freezing temps using all or some of these chilled water, distilled water, additives, and high pressure. Also even in nature snow can withstand a 1000 ft drop in 50+ degree ambient temps.
I'm searching for Olympics and Asian games in Wikipedia and I'm shocked that I saw Saudi in Winter Games that's why i'm here 😆
I like how mBS has pink lips colour, totally suit him ;)
Cool
I have the feeling that the Saudi's will do the same thing like Qatar did on the World Cup : forced labor
Would be crazy if they could manage with all the sunlight they have, to make it all with zero carbon impact.
I actualy see the vision of Saudi arabia to do so. Most car companies started switching to Electric motors means fuel will be less demanded in the future. And this is actualy a good idea and a bad idea at the same time. The effect of the event will be crwating a good image to the countru but eill damage the enviroment and will deffinetly cost way too much that its prolly not worth it to do so. Thats due to the others mega project they're doing at the moment example the Line. The Line is a great concept for the future for less space and more efficient on all other aspect but they should've hold on it if they have this mega project rn. I guess they come from different people different companies which make sense but imagine if all of them work together and out a focus on a single mega project and make it work which is this mega project.
Then saudi arabia could've been the country of sports event, convention, imagine if they made a electric motor companies and dominate too. But it wont happen sadly
It is not damaging the environment. It’s the exact opposite unlike other normal cities, The recent construction projects puts the human and the nature first. Read more about the NEOM project and you’ll understand. Regarding electric cars, we already do have 2 electric car companies that are going to build their factory and headquarters in Saudi Arabia and the country promised a third one. We’re working simultaneously on everything. The country is going through a major upgrade in all sectors.
In my fictional world, This project already finished and successful
Another megaproject to add to the list of Saudi's unfinished megaprojects 😅
They need to just stop this already 😭🤣🤣
You should be patient . You will see
Good things need time
@@fhd1232009 yes i will see a unfinished project😂
Cry harder Yes 😂
More vanity projects
These facts blow up my mind! Best video ever!
Astonishing, that they have enough money for all this crazy projects. When regarding clima protests in Europe, it is completely ridicules when comparing with Arabien states or China.
@Europe is better than the US The USA is an child from older Europe. It is known, that USA and Europe has advantages. Europe has better public entities like streets, trains, social care etc. But this makes that Europe has a tax rate from around 40 % where USA has only 20 % tax rate. The USA is more avangardistic and creative. Look what Hollywood, Elon Musk and all famous US world brands do. Europe is an boring retirement house compared to USA.
@Europe is better than the US I like cinema movies and Hollywood is fairly creative. That is the reason, that I appreciate Hollywood high. Imagine how difficult it is to produce a modern trick film movie. Quite good work !
(*Trojena is pronounced Tojena and not Trohena*)
Amazing video I actually live in the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia
Guy sleeping in lower right at 4:55 XD
some saudi arabia kid in the future: "mom, what's outside the cube".
2:00 - Why are the people going up the mountain? Why not down?
It insane and shameful that some nation who considered themselves as superpower or global power trying to stand in the way of a small Qatar 🇶🇦 from hosting the fifa world cup and Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 from building this beautiful creation to host the Asian winter games!.... these nation have enough to full their citizens stomach and much more!!... the global power would prefer Saudi Arabia spend the money 💰 on their name brand shoes 👞 clothes and handbags 👜!!...after seeing 👀 such a beautiful fifa world cup in Qatar 🇶🇦 I would love to see Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 hosting world cup in 2030 as well!... come on fifa let's go!!!
I am in Saudi Arabia since 1999, I have seen unbelievable +ve changes since then, and I am very confident in the Govt. of Saudi Arabia, once they set their mind to do , nothing will stop them god willing, having said that, Saudi Govt. has given lot of potential opportunities for florigen investors in the past n current projects n turned out to be very successful, I guess people should visit Saudi Arabia from every part of the world n witness first hand the excellent experience with people n Rich culture, these upcoming projects are very promising to everyone connected to it, god willing, I wish every one success n good luck for very successful future of Saudi Arabia. I thank "Top Luxury" for making all these videos.
I want to see how they accomplish anti-gravity...skiers skiing UP-hill @ 2:00...😂
I think it's a fantastic idea. They'll probably use Nuclear Power. It's more green than you think. the SA's have infinite money, and this project sounds awesome for the world. Exciting times.
I had to check the upload date to make sure it was on April 1st
After all the western hypocritical criticism on Qatar world cup from bidding, winning the bid, construction of infrastructure, hypocrsy on migrant workers, issues of LGBTQ right, selling of beer in stadium, etc., we have all witnessed the best world cup event ever in the history of the game. Maybe by now, I would have expected the west to begin to realize that they not the world but part of it. And they are not the fortunate makers.
I think its fesable but they should increase by over 5000% their solar input to be seen as a green project and stop others saying its bad for environment. Everything is fesable at a price tag. But i am happy to see country like them doing their best to change what the world see of them :)
They are going to need all the Magic of Houdini to change how the world see them.. Good luck with that
Nuclear is the way to go with this one, solar won't work too well in the mountains due to shadow cover, rainfall and dust.
Very nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like
When nothing was there in Quatar in 2010 can build many infrastructures in 12 years .Why can't a Saudi Arabia build with modern equipment
I think it's possible
Problem is they are doing so many mega projects at once!
Yeah even you have a point
The fact that Saudi is moving up in the world after the conflict that took place is very impressive. I'd like to see more across the world moving up
Is *this* really moving up? In the literal sense of vertical structures but what if no one wants to live in the Wall say? I guess they can pay folks to live there and turn it into the most expensive slum on Earth. Or just allow it to decay like Chinese ghost cities.
I can see to be completed in late 2030 if they wouldn't cut corners. But for the games?! I just hope nothing collapse during this time gap
For tourism to prosper, Saudi should look at their liquor policy. UAE has that advantage
Why not enjoy a alcohol free holiday?
Thanks I hate it 😬 what a waste of resources 🙄
Why not just hold these event where natural weather permit - You know, like we used to... These insane 'mega' projects keep getting more and more desperate (not much learned from Dubai, it seems).
Mughal Emperor did the similar blunder in 🇮🇳 by investing all the available resources in the construction of Taj Mahal.
Another project that will turn an unmarked abandoned project to appear on the desert.
Jealous?

Cry harder
@@ibrahimofficial4297 There is nothing to be jealous to be honest. He is just pointing out the absurdity of the project but I am ready to change my mind if it works
@@deepmind7784 There is nothing to cry about it, this is just pointing out of absurdity of project
I will be ready to change my mind, if they actually manage it to works & it doesn't gets abandoned (which will be sad if it does)
Just another day of proving saudi have gone nuts
Why? Just why...?
When you’re in a *waste your resources the fastest* challenge and your opponent in *Saudi Arabia*
The city of Jeddah has mega projects that will displace Dubai from being the first destination in Arab tourism.
Because Jeddah has at least 5 competitive advantages that Dubai cannot have
While Jeddah can get all the competitive advantages that Dubai has
An interesting and important topic that only those who understand economics know about.
We will see if Projects Channel can know the competitive strength that Jeddah has and Dubai does not have
Well the UAE has much more liberal laws with stuff like alcohol and other things. Which is a big issue for western tourists.
@@hummel_brummel I know that, I prefer that Saudi Arabia take care of the Muslim tourist and the people of Asia and Latinos because they are more respectful of the Islamic culture.
At the World Cup in Qatar, we saw the amount of Western bullying on our culture, so I do not prefer them coming to Saudi Arabia.
@@hummel_brummel
We don't care about Western tourists, and we'd rather they not come to our country. We only want Latinos, Asians, Russians and Africans, we don't want Europeans
good, take water out of the sea, so we lower water level and maldives gets to have longer time
Saudi Arabia's Mega-Project managers have an unusual incentive ...
failure could lead to a close encounter with a bone saw.
Are we not learning our lesson about putting major sporting events in states with this level of human rights issues?
Holy sh*t

Quote Unquote in 2026 "It was too challenging"
One massive Earthquake in those areas and a lot will be coming down.
I fear for the human rights situation leading up to building their fantasy.
Human rights is not in their vocabulary. It is as empty as the desert
Last day of judgement signs
Peak Stupidity would be a much better name.
Qatar did it for FIFA world cup. Why not Saudi Arabia?
This is insane!! Would love to see how that works.. however they should not use fossil energy for the project
already super expensive megaproject + abnormally massive energy requirements + oil rich country = let's spend extra billions on solar panels and wind mills?
i don't think so lol
Don’t worry all the recent Saudi construction projects are %100 Green energy 💯
Don't worry, the Saudi vision 2030 plans to encrease green energy.
If you have money 💰💰 everything is possible
they invinted snow lasting 5 months
Saudi arabia constantly like. Are we cool yet, how bout now. Hey look at me. How bout now
From what we have seen from this administration, I have no doubt that this will happen. What they have done in the past 5 years is remarkable. Everyone in Saudi knows that. They walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
jeddah tower and king abdullah city are cases of project failures
@@daesoulae Both projects weren’t initiated by the current administration. Jeddah Tower was a project by KHC and not the government. King Abdullah Economic City was a project by the last administration. Any how, as of today, both projects were relayed to PIF to re-strategise these two projects specifically.
@Europe is better than the US It could and it could be not. Who knows? What I know is if someone is embarking on a ambitious and difficult adventure which could lead to advances in many disciplines, I won’t stand on their way even if there is a possibility of failure. They are already investing in R&D in areas that have never been touched before.
5:00 anyone else see that dude laying under the rock?
As someone who lives in the alps this project almost scares me. Skiing in this kind of Environment won’t be close to what you could expect from skiing in natural ski resorts
