Neom is in progress in Saudi Arabia and is set to present its residents with extraordinary facilities.

There are grand plans for this megacity. It has been endorsed as one of the world’s most ambitious projects and its cost is anticipated to increase from $500 billion to a staggering $1.5 trillion.

The city is part of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 project, For a post-fossil fuel future, Noem is part of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 project, which aims to revolutionise the country’s oil-dependent economy.

However, on whether the project will be completed as planned, few doubters have expressed pessimism.

Moreover, recent reports also indicate that Saudi Arabia may be facing difficult questions about the megaproject's financial, environmental, and humanitarian impacts.

Though, the mega structures of Neom have been revealed already including Trojena, The Line, Gulf of Aqaba, Sindalah and Oxagon; the tech additions of the mega city are little known about.

From "digital twins" that will copy residents' biometrics and health data, to humanoids at hotel check-in desks are part of Neom’s high-tech plans.

An "immersive, mixed-reality metaverse" will also be featured by Neom, according to its website. It is expected to be the most high-tech city in the world.
