A set of aerial images has revealed work progressing on The Line megacity, Oxagon port and Sindalah resort, which are being built as part of Neom in Saudi Arabia.

The images, shared by The Line’s chief operating officer Giles Pendleton on LinkedIn, show construction underway on the controversial project.

Pendleton’s images include aerial photos, that appear to be taken from a helicopter, of the excavations for The Line, which is planned to stretch 170 kilometres across the country.

He also shared aerial shots of hotels under construction at the Sindalah island resort and preparation works at Oxagon development.

    I haven’t heard about this one so had to look up

    The Line is ridiculously gigantic: 500 metres high, 200 metres wide, and 170 kilometres long, mirrored facades and, potentially, roof-top wind turbines, east–west orientated at the head of the Red Sea

    When they said megacity, this is definitely not what I imagined
