NEOM & The Line: Visiting Saudi Arabia's City of the Future

The Vision of NEOM

NEOM is a massive $500 billion giga-project taking shape in the Tabuk province of northwestern Saudi Arabia, bordering the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. It is the flagship project of Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to create a sustainable, futuristic region powered entirely by renewable energy.

What is Currently Accessible?

While major components like THE LINE (the 170km linear city), Trojena (the mountain ski resort), and Oxagon (the floating industrial city) are under heavy construction, the NEOM region is still attracting investors, business travelers, and curious tourists.

  1. Sindalah Island: Expected to be the first physical showcase of NEOM, this luxury island resort is nearing completion.
  2. Tabuk City: The regional capital and the primary logistical hub for NEOM. It features its own historical sites like the Tabuk Castle.
  3. Magna & Tayeb Al Ism: Stunning coastal and mountainous areas near the Gulf of Aqaba that offer pristine natural beauty and off-the-beaten-path tourism.

How to Travel to NEOM

  • By Air: NEOM Bay Airport (NUM) handles specific commercial flights, while Tabuk Regional Airport (TUU) is the main civilian gateway to the broader region.
  • By Road: Traveling from major cities like Jeddah or Madinah involves a long coastal drive up the Red Sea highway.
    • Jeddah to NEOM: ~1,000 km (10 hours)
    • Tabuk Airport to NEOM Base Camps: ~120 km (1.5 hours)

Booking Executive Transport

Because NEOM is a massive construction and development zone, having reliable, robust transport is critical. Executive SUVs are the vehicle of choice here, capable of navigating both the newly laid highways and the rugged access roads leading to various project sites. We offer dedicated transfers from Tabuk Airport directly to NEOM's operational zones.
