Saudi’s NEOM City to be built by the Red Sea\u00a0 is hyping the entire Kingdom as well as the region. It’s going to be the world’s first independent special zone, that will span through 3 countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s a few things to know about the city we’re all anxiously waiting for:\u00a0<\/p>\n

NEOM- The word ‘neo’<\/em> is Latin for ‘new’ and the ‘M’ stands for the word ‘Mostaqbal’\u00a0<\/em>which means ‘future’\u00a0<\/h3>\n

The perfect fit for the futuristic new city that’s set to be developed in Saudi’s Northwestern region.<\/p>\n

It will extend to a 26,500-square km (10,230-square mile) zone that will include the Egyptian and Jordanian borders, linking with it the new city\u00a0<\/h3>\n

So people can travel around, and see all three. Hey, best of three worlds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The city will be excluded from sovereign laws<\/h3>\n

Or laws that are related to the military sector, foreign policy and sovereign decisions. However, all will remain at the discretion of the Kingdom’s government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
