A set of aerial images has revealed work progressing on The Line megacity, Oxagon port and Sindalah resort, which are being built as part of Neom in Saudi Arabia.

The images, shared by The Line's chief operating officer Giles Pendleton on LinkedIn, show construction underway on the controversial project.

Pendleton's images include aerial photos, that appear to be taken from a helicopter, of the excavations for The Line, which is planned to stretch 170 kilometres across the country.

He also shared aerial shots of hotels under construction at the Sindalah island resort and preparation works at Oxagon development.

I give it less than 50 years before global warming turns it into just another desiccated ruin, half buried by the sands.

50?

Honestly I don't even expect them to finish it.

If they are still building Sagrada Familia, then a line megacity will take more than 200 years.
