Middle East Eye1/25/2026 – 1/26/2026

Summary

Saudi Arabia's Neom megacity project is reportedly being significantly downscaled and redesigned due to financial constraints, with sources indicating it will be "far smaller" than initially planned, according to the Financial Times. The project's centerpiece, "The Line," is now described as a more "modest" undertaking compared to its original vision of being 33 times the size of New City.
