In the heart of the Trojena Mountains in northwestern Saudi Arabia, construction is moving forward steadily as part of the NEOM project. This is one of the world’s most ambitious urban developments. The landscape is changing day by day, as towering mountains and powerful machinery come together in harmony. Together, they bring futuristic visions to life.
A Unique Location, with Unique Challenges
Trojena is more than just a mountain range; it’s a key component of NEOM’s vision. Located at elevations reaching 2,600 meters above sea level, the area presents rare engineering challenges.
A Glimpse into the Site
Recent images from the site offer a vivid snapshot of the work underway:
- Massive excavators carving through the rocky terrain, preparing the groundwork for foundational structures.
- Steel columns and scaffolding rising rapidly, supported by towering cranes placing components with pinpoint accuracy.
- The early shapes of architectural structures are becoming visible amid the mountains.
- Near the coast, a new port is taking shape. It is expected to serve as a vital maritime gateway on the Red Sea.
Technology at the Core
Everything unfolding in Trojena is driven by the integration of human expertise and cutting-edge technology. From heavy machinery to advanced site management systems, every element is contributing to a new kind of built environment. Modern construction methods are also helping, creating balance between natural beauty and intelligent infrastructure.
ArchUp: A Live Chronicle of the Arab and Global Architectural Scene
Since its launch, ArchUp has aimed to build an open knowledge archive covering everything related to architecture, design, and urbanism in the Arab world and beyond. We strive to provide neutral, encyclopedic content written in a professional tone, aimed at every architect, researcher, student, or decision-maker.
The content is managed by a dedicated editorial team that ensures daily review and updates of news, articles, and design data. We invite you to reach out via our Contact Us page to contribute, suggest, or collaborate in expanding the architectural knowledge network we are building together.
