Saudi Arabia is building a futuristic city called "The Line"

The Line is a one-building city in the desert that will stretch 106 miles (170 km) and will eventually accommodate nine million people. This futuristic city, part of the Neom project, will be built in the northwest of the Gulf country, near the Red Sea, according to an announcement by the kingdom's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Originally scheduled for completion in 2025, the Crown Prince insists the ambitious project is on track. He also said the goal is to make Saudi Arabia an economic powerhouse by bringing more citizens to the country. That said, Saudi officials say they have no plans to lift the kingdom's ban on alcohol, even in this city.
