NEOM is a region currently being shaped by several giga-projects that will serve as a new model for sustainable living. This latest project, developed in partnership with the NEOM Hotel Division, will be located in the Discover cluster—one of six distinct areas in the region. The Discover cluster is set to include the Discovery Tower, a high-rise tower with an open-air museum; the Observatory, a panoramic viewing center; and the Cosmic Gate, a stargazing camp and astronomical park.
