Why Saudi Arabia is Building a $1 Trillion City in the Desert

Imagine a city unlike anything the world has ever seen—a futuristic metropolis rising from the scorching sands of one of the harshest landscapes on Earth. No roads. No cars. No pollution. Just a perfect, AI-powered, utopian megacity, stretching 170 kilometers in a straight line. It sounds like something out of science fiction… but Saudi Arabia is spending a mind-blowing projection of 500 billion dollars reaching up to 1.5 trillion dollars to turn this vision into reality.
But why here? Why gamble on a project so ambitious, so extreme, that many experts believe it’s impossible? And more importantly—what is the real cost of building the future?
Beneath the shimmering promises of innovation and sustainability, there’s a deeper story unfolding—one of ancient cultures, relentless ambition, and the high stakes of a kingdom racing against time. This is more than a city… this is Saudi Arabia’s boldest bet yet.
