New technology | Saudi Arabia billions of dollars investment on Neom city

This technology will shock you.
Newly-released drone footage shows excavators starting work on digging the foundations for the £440 billion megacity The Line in #SaudiArabia. The footage was recorded by @OtSkyDrone, and shows diggers at the 170 kilometers long site.

The project was launched by Prince Mohammed bin Salman and will be part of the vast desert complex of @DiscoverNeom, which will also feature an artificial ski resort, an octagonal floating port city, flying elevators, a swimming lane for commuters and robots and Al to serve its future residents. In the footage, excavators are seen making a trench in the desert. The trench is expected to have the foundations for the city built within it.

Underneath the length of the city, there are also plans to create an underground transport system.

The megacity, which could house up to nine million people, was announced earlier this year. Not everyone was convinced that workers could actually design the city after it was unveiled.

But the footage seems to show that the city is being built and that the dream will be realised.
