New Artificial Lake (Mountain of NEOM), Artificial Lake (Trojena), & Artificial Lakes, to be built in the Trojena Mountains, that will be 2,000 meters high, within the NEOM project and 2.8 kilometres long. While the original engineering plan for this new destination required 3 dams to create a continuous body of water, as of late March 2026, NEOM has issued a 'termination for convenience' to the lead contractors, effectively suspending the primary dam construction at 30 per cent completion.
The Olympics Council of Asia (OCA) has announced that the location of the Winter 2029 Olympics has been moved from Trojena, via NEOM, Saudi Arabia, to Almaty, Kazakhstan, because the original construction schedule has been delayed and due to the OCA's need to update their construction goals for NEOM and ‘pragmatic recalibration’ of construction goals and priorities associated with the construction of the new main road connecting Baraka and Trojena.
