Saudi Arabia to Create Artificial Lake in the Heart of the Desert

The NEOM agency for territorial development in Saudi Arabia has announced that ongoing efforts are being made to create an artificial lake stretching 2.8 kilometers. This lake is being developed for the 2029 Asian Winter Games at the 'Trojen' resort.

The lake will be located in a mountainous area, approximately 50 kilometers from the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, at an elevation between 1500 and 2600 meters. In addition to the artificial reservoir, which will transform into a massive skating rink during the games, luxury hotels, residential areas, restaurants, conference halls, and venues for other events will be constructed nearby.
