Catering to the worldwide speculation and curiosity surrounding Neom, the Saudi Arabian megaproject has released real-life footage of its construction. Since 3D renderings were a majority of what was used to communicate its updates up until now, this marks the first time the world gets a glimpse of the progress on the groundbreaking site, which is now in the building phase.
