Rising more than 1,000 feet over the gulf on an artificial island, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is one of the most distinctive buildings in Dubai and the world. It resembles a dhow (an Arabian boat) with a billowing white sail cruising through the azure water toward the coastline.
Neom wants to build a 1,500-foot infinity pool that's almost 4 times longer than one in Dubai
11.05.2024 - 12:37 / insider.com
Saudi Arabia is planning a spectacular infinity pool that will be almost 1,500 feet long.
If completed, the pool will be suspended 220 feet above the sea in Neom's Treyam region. Developers have said it would be the world's longest.
Treyam will be home to the world’s longest infinity pool. Stretching 450 meters and elevated 36 meters above the sea, guests will enjoy dramatic views of the region's natural beauty. #Treyam #NEOM pic.twitter.com/syJG7hCZ34
In a statement, Neom said the design "represents a harmonious fusion of contemporary design and minimal environmental impact while promising guests an unparalleled retreat to unwind and rejuvenate amidst breathtaking natural vistas."
If completed, the pool would dwarf nearby Dubai's offering — a 393-foot-long infinity pool suspended between twin skyscrapers. The twin skyscrapers One Za'abeel opened in February.
Located on the southern end of the Gulf of Aqaba, Treyam is one of Neom's recently-announced regions.
Planners have described it as a "premier resort" designed for "adventure and endeavor." The region will also offer other activities such as sailing, diving, and other water sports.
Developers also say guests will be able to enjoy extensive "technology-enhanced health and wellness offerings."
Representatives for Neom did not immediately respond to a request for comment, made outside normal working hours.
Saudi's Neom project is part of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 project, which aims to transform the country into a luxury tourism destination and innovation hub.
The projects will not come cheap, however. Recent reports have indicated that the realities of the trillion-dollar investments may be starting to cause alarm at the highest level of the Saudi government.
Saudi officials have also faced claims that they used lethal force to evict people living on the land to make way for a part of the project called The Line. An exiled Saudi colonel said he was ordered to clear the area, which was mostly populated by the Huwaitat tribe, BBC News reported on Thursday.
