Nadhmi Al-Nasr, NEOM project executive director, said construction workers have completed 20 percent of the megacity's infrastructure.

Saudi Arabian authorities have shared new images from the construction site revealing the progress of the country's planned Desert City.

The Line skyscraper is part of Saudi Arabia's Neom project. This country wants to build a smart city stretching up to 170km.

Saudi Arabia will shorten the length of the city from 170km to 2.4km with a capacity of only 300,000 residents.
