105-mile-long desert city to be the world’s grandest wonder!
Saudi Arabia unveiled new pictures of the Neom megacity planned by its ruler, Mohammed bin Salman.
They highlight the landscapes surrounding the city, and present it as a vacation paradise.
In a desert in the arid northwest of Saudi Arabia, plans for a trillion-dollar, futuristic megacity are beginning to take shape.
Neom is the brainchild of Saudi Arabia's crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman.
In his bid to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, the crown prince aims to attract billions in investment to Neom, which he envisages as a tourism attraction and global hub for technology and innovation.
In a new set of pictures released by Neom and Unsplash, the city is portrayed as a paradisaical adventure holiday resort.
