Earlier this month, the $500 billion Neom unveiled plans to build a new luxury tourism destination, Epicon, on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba. Saudi Arabia has been described as the “biggest” construction site the world has ever seen, with $1.1 trillion of building projects currently in progress across the kingdom. Neom has already launched Sindalah, a luxury island destination; The Line, a linear city; Trojena, a year-round mountain destination; and Oxagon, an industrial city for advanced and clean industries.

AGBI last week reported that Neom has ramped up its applications for patents on names and logos, registering a total of 33 this year, including 27 within the last two months, indicating that at least two new major projects are still to come.

They include 18 mysterious symbols, with 12 registered in the past two months.
