2025 NEOM Update: What’s Really Happening On-Site?

Video Description

Earlier this year, NEOM announced that The Line will go ‘vertical’. So we went on-site to NEOM, Saudi Arabia, to see for ourselves. This isn't just a construction update; it's also a grappling story of shifting priorities, desperate sacrifices, and a tale of two NEOMs. While The Line struggles with no ‘real’ new funding since 2023, its mountain sibling Trojena is blasting billions into bare rock for the 2029 Asian Winter Games. Why such different fates? Join us as we reveal exclusive on-ground footage and expose the harsh realities behind the renders. In this investigative deep-dive, we uncover: ✅ The Line On-Site: Our exclusive footage of the "Big Dig" - 4km long, 70m deep, ready to go vertical ✅ R.I.P. The 170km Dream: We visit the mothballed mountain tunnels and explain why the full 170km vision will not happen in our lifetimes. ✅ The "Great Pyramid Unit": We break down the insane tenders for concrete and steel that make the Pharaohs look like they were playing with LEGOs. ✅ Trojena, The Golden Child: Witness the shock and awe of a mountain valley being terraformed, a 5 billion lake being built, and the "Kraken" ski resort going vertical. ✅ NEOM's New Money Rule: How NEOM Projects Get Funded in 2025 The excavators are running and the mountains are moving, but the original vision for The Line is DEAD. This is the 2025 construction update you won't see anywhere else, revealing a project both more real and more troubled than ever before. 🔔 Subscribe to Gigaprojects for deep dives into the world’s most ambitious gigaprojects! 👍 If you find our on-site reporting valuable, hit the like button! 💬 The Line vs. Trojena: Where would you put the money?
