The urban and independent area, NEOM, will begin the first leg of its development pretty soon, as announced heads of the project on Wednesday.

NEOM is the $500 billion mega-city planned to be the smartest, most sustainable yet equally entertaining residential and commercial space.

The land where NEOM will be developed is in the same proximity as Tabuk, so you already know how stunning this place will look once it’s done.

The first phase will begin soon as NEOM is expected to complete in 2020

That’s right, folks. Not long from now, residents and tourists will get to live the modern desert dreams that NEOM has in store.

Last year, studies were conducted with professionals to inspect the landscapes and wether or not they’d be safe for developing properties.

MBS even approved the concept for: NEOM Bay

NEOM Bay will consist of homes, lifestyle and tourism facilities as well as “innovation centers,” reports Arab News.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has already approved the concept, which will center on luxury-living complete with 5-star hotels and villas.

Cannot wait for this!

Sources believe that contractors would be appointed before April

According to Arab News, contractors for the NEOM Bay project have yet to be appointed, however; this is something that is due to take place before April.
