So, if you love Turkish food or are just looking for a good and wholesome meal, Akdeniz Turkish Cuisine is where you ought to be. With stunning vistas and authentic flavours, it’s poised to become a favourite spot in Neom.

Saudi Arabian megaprojects don’t get more sci-fi than Neom. The name itself is a combination of the Greek words for new and the Arabic word for future. Neom will be the size of Belgium and sit north of the Red Sea coastline. Projects include Oxagan and The Line. Oxagon aims to be the world’s largest floating industrial complex, while The Line aims to be a 170-kilometre-long residential complex with zero cars, streets, and carbon emissions.
