Saudi Arabia’s $1 trillion megacity project, The Line, is rapidly taking shape, bringing an ambitious vision of the future to life.

As of 2025, progress is accelerating, unveiling newly developed components and groundbreaking innovations within The Line. But the project still faces delays, soaring costs, and logistical complexities. Can Saudi Arabia truly deliver on this promise? Today let’s dive into The Line’s 2025 construction progress.

On September 16th, 2025, Saudi Arabia quietly cancelled The Line.
No announcement. No press release. Just a brutal internal decision that carved up a trillion-dollar dream and distributed its corpse across the Kingdom. After months on the ground investigating NEOM, we can finally reveal what really happened. The 170-kilometer vision? Dead. The $8.8 TRILLION price tag? Real. The magic trick MBS pulled on the entire world? Bigger than anyone imagined. This is the autopsy of the most expensive construction project never built—and the revelation of what was actually being constructed while we were all distracted by mirror walls. Using leaked documents, PIF audits, and our investigation on-site, we expose how MBS staged the greatest misdirection in construction history. The Line wasn’t a city. It was a cover story for something far more ambitious.
