The Line, NEOM
This image shows the planned design of The Line.
  • Saudi Arabia's sprawling megacity, Neom, is billed as a chance to live in the "new future."
  • Officials want to fill 262 vacancies. The unusual roles show what it will take to run the city.
  • The responsibilities for one role involve creating a cheetah management plan. 

Saudi Arabia is pushing ahead with its ambitious plans for Neom, a futuristic metropolis spread across 26,500 km² in the northwestern region of Tabuk.

First announced in 2017, Neom is the flagship project of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 — an initiative to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy and reduce its reliance on oil revenues.
