There are mountains where it does snow however it is far too inconsistent and sparse to guarantee enough snow for a ski resort. They will have to create their own snow like some of the more famous ski resorts do at the beginning and end of their natural ski seasons.

The mountains are high enough with Jabal Al Lawz reaching approx 2,500 metres which is comparable to the Alpine ski resorts in Europe but obviously the overall climate is very different.

Trojena outdoor skiing

NEOM's Trojena ski resort is planning to open in 2026:

Last month, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman unveiled plans for Trojena, the Gulf region’s first-ever outdoor ski resort, which, unlike the Alps of Europe, can be reached by almost 40 percent of the world’s population within four hours. The site, which will feature sporting events, art exhibitions, concerts and cultural festivals, is expected to attract 700,000 visitors and 7,000 permanent residents by 2030. Planners say the project is due for completion by 2026.

And one more breathtaking teaser of Trojena:

These NEOM artwork teasers remind me of Dubai back in 2006, when the Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Deira, The World and Dubai Waterfront islands were built at the same time, and off-plan villas sold on them.

As in Dubai, I bet only 10%-20% of what we see right now will actually come to fruition.
