The massive infrastructure project NEOM sits in the Saudi Arabian desert, and the jewel in its crown is The Line—a futuristic city that looks insane. AI-powered drones, robot maids, and 9 million residents living between two giant mirrors – that was the pitch. But by 2025, only 2.5km is under construction, foreign investors are pulling out, and insiders say the project is collapsing under its own weight.
