Skiing in Saudi Arabia: stalls with mega projects

Date:

With the awarding of the 2029 Asian Winter Games, the world’s largest winter resort project began in 2022. The fact that it should take place in the desert state of Saudi Arabia sounds paradoxical. And it is. Krone+ has viewed the latest images from the construction site.

Money? Doesn’t matter. Cheap labor? Plenty of it. Snow? Artificially produced. The ingredients for the 2029 Asian Winter Games in Saudi Arabia are together. Although the conditions for winter madness could hardly be worse. Because right now, in Troyena, the mountainous region in northeastern Saudi Arabia, it’s between 28 and 31 degrees and the sun is shining brightly. While the few residents are sweating, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s plans include 36 kilometers of slopes with white powder snow. Troyena is part of the NEOM project, which consists of numerous daring and expensive projects in the government’s Vision 2030 program.
