NEOM’s Building An ‘Upside-Down’ Underground Skyscraper
NEOM has been revealing new projects as part of the futuristic city almost every week now; each seems to be bigger than the last. The latest one is an upside-down, underground skyscraper called Aquellum that’ll be located in the mountain range by the Gulf of Aqaba.
Think of it as a 100-meter-high (or maybe we can call it deep) skyscraper concealed within the confines of a mountain—yes, that’s Aquellum for you.
The deets? Well, NEOM’s going all out futuristic with life-like meta-verse experiences and an “omnidirectional internal transit system.”
To get there, you’ll start at the world’s first floating marina, hop on a special ride, cruise through an underground canal, and voila—you’re in Aquellum, a hidden community offering a mind-blowing sensory journey.

It’ll have everything from hotels and apartments to retail spots, entertainment zones, and innovation hubs seamlessly blended together.
And that’s not all—there’s a courtyard connecting social spaces, top-notch hospitality, artsy stuff, events, and a shopping-dining combo.
But wait, there’s more: say hello to a place called ‘The Generator.’ It’s like a hotspot for disruptors, innovators, and creative minds to do whatever they’re good at. NEOM sure is ticking all the right boxes when it comes to over-the-top destinations.
