Neom, a proposed futuristic mega-city in Saudi Arabia, announced on Sunday the inauguration of its “first physical showcase,” a posh Red Sea island with dining options, lodging options, and boat docks.
The island, known as Sindalah, is launching ahead of a significant investor gathering sometimes called “Davos in the Desert,” which will start in Riyadh on Tuesday, and amid ongoing concerns over Neom’s viability.
In a statement, chief executive Nadhmi al-Nasr stated, “With the opening of Sindalah, Neom is committed to supporting the Kingdom’s new era of luxury tourism.”
“Visitors can get a ‘first glimpse’ of what lies ahead for our vast portfolio of destinations and developments at Neom’s debut destination.”
