Well, out of all surviving Neom's projects, there is only one I really want to visit in the future: Trojena.

Here, seaside projects are mostly isolated from the rest of the country like some tourist sanctuaries. I'm afraid that it will be very hard to compete with Dubai and even opposite shore of Egypt, with whats left of NEOM. I'm curious what will The Line redesign look like, but my expectations are rather low now. No "big" money, no glory.

Yes, Trojena still feels like the one thing that’s actually interesting, even with all that’s gone down. Dropping the winter games makes it feel a bit scaled back, but I don’t see it as the end, maybe just trying to be more realistic. With Aiman al-Mudaifer’s review happening, I’m just waiting to see how that plays out. That said, the rest of NEOM is definitely harder to get excited about, especially when the competition in the region is already so strong.
