Description
Saudi Arabia announced it was building a city called The Line — a hundred and seventy kilometres long, five hundred metres tall, home to a million and a half people by 2030. It is the centrepiece of NEOM, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's half-a-trillion-dollar project on the Red Sea coast.
Bloomberg reported that what will actually exist by 2030 is two point four kilometres of it. Fewer than three hundred thousand residents.
Two point four kilometres. You could walk the entire city in under half an hour.
In the desert above it, Saudi Arabia was going to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games at a mountain resort called Trojena. In February 2026, the Olympic Council of Asia handed those Games to Almaty, in Kazakhstan.
On the coast, a luxury island called Sindalah held a launch party in October 2024 with Will Smith and Tom Brady on the guest list. Nearly two years later it has still never opened to the public, and it has been taken away from NEOM entirely.
None of this has been cancelled. That is the part that matters, and it is the reason this is worse than a cancellation — because a cancelled project stops costing money, and this one has not stopped doing anything.
So how does the most expensive construction project in human history end up building two point four kilometres? Who signed off on numbers that engineers say were never physically possible? And why did a man with absolute power over a country need to build it in the first place?
