Neom, Saudi Arabia's $1.5 trillion gigaproject, stands out as a notable feat in the realm of the most expensive megacity ventures of all time.
In particular, their individual projects, such as Trojena, a year-round ski village located in the middle of the picturesque mountains of the Tabuk region, are worthy of praise on their own.
Saudi Arabia's ambitious Trojena project exceeds expectations and execution as it is 33 times the size of New York City, according to Luxury releases.
The impressive ski resort, currently under construction, has been meticulously planned by the German studio LAVA.
With 36 kilometers of year-round snow, Trojena is set to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games and the prestigious 2030 Winter Olympics.
While Beijing's Olympic Green has been repurposed as a residential area following the Olympic Games, Trojena will maintain its status as the Kingdom's ski capital, going beyond hosting events to establish itself as a reigning force in the region.
Set to become the world's first “vertical ski village”, Trojena will feature snowmaking machines and six districts with 450 on-piste residences, 1,000 hotel rooms, ultra-luxury family and wellness resorts and a wide range of retail stores and restaurants.
The development is expected to be completed in 2026.
