The games will be held in Trojena, a still-under-construction Neom area in the northwestern mountain range that is being marketed as a new winter sports tourist hotspot. Soon, Saudi Arabia’s mountains and deserts will serve as a paradise for winter sports. A $500 billion megacity that is one of the cornerstones of the kingdom’s Vision 2030 development plan includes the city. Near the Jordanian border and the Red Sea, northwest of the nation is where you’ll find the Neom site.
The rugged Tabuk area, 50 kilometres inland from the shore, will be the home of Trojena. According to the official website, Trojena would have a 2,400-meter-high ski town in addition to other leisure and travel-related industries. According to Saudi Arabia, Trojena city will be ready by 2026.
