Saudi Arabia's linear city (Neom)

Saudis are wasting money, they should just build a sovereign fund like Norway and build state budgets on that. It’s boring but it’s also safe.

They are not going to invest by themselves, they are seeking international backers which are willing to invest. They have two obstacles which are human rights and ironically MBS himself.

I don’t see how investors could make profit. What are they going to sell?
 
Their gonna run out of oil money by that time:mjlol:

the only thing they have is Mecca and Madinah other then that they have nothing

nobody wants to see the desert:tacky:
 
Saudi is incredibly oil rich. It is perhaps the only reason why world powers seek interest in such a barren desert, and how it is able to afford such expensive projects.

They can make a profit from construction and the companies they own will get contracts for the smart technology which will be embedded in the city. I think this city will be like Hong Kong for the Middle East and have its own laws.

It's going to have it's own laws different from the sharia so as not to scare investors, they've apparently already issued contracts for the city's design.πŸ€”

They are supposed to release the master plans in the next two weeks. I don't think this is a vanity project given its location and purpose.

Very ambitious. I wonder how long it will take for it to be built?

The Saudis like most Gulf Arab countries like to be flashy and extravagant. In the not so distant future they’ll run out of oil and they’ve only just started to try diversify their economy.

This is why a country like UAE in the long run will be more successful because even though they don’t have the big oil reserves that Saudi Arabia has, the UAE diversified their wealth decades ago and anticipated that they can’t solely rely on oil. Proactive approach >Reactive approach

May it fail along with any other scheme of MBS. They are murdering people and destroying towns and villages for it.
