NEOMs Aquellum - a futuristic digitalised community completely encased in a mountain, invisible to anyone outside

Aquellum, a future digital village that would be fully enclosed in a mountain and invisible to anybody outside, is a new giga-project that The Kingdom's NEOM has disclosed. The seaside location will serve as a central location for lodging, residences, shops, entertainment and recreation areas, and creative centres arranged in a vertical layout.

The opulent and immersive area will present cutting-edge architectural concepts and technology. Constructed as a vertical experience reaching a height of 100 metres, the destination will seamlessly blend in with the surrounding environment and landscapes to achieve maximum sustainability. It will be an area dedicated to innovation and pushing the limits of various fields, including science and architecture.

The innovative centre will start at the first floating marina in the world and be tucked away within a 450-meter mountain range directly along the Gulf of Aqaba. When you get there, you'll have to pass via a secret subterranean canal in order to enter the hidden village.

Aquellum's floating marina and the specifically built boats that are used to enter it will be shown to visitors. The visitors will be able to see an architectural and sensory marvel as they pass through the hidden underground canal. It includes an amazing courtyard area that stretches from the water to the sky in a fully digitalized setting.

"The Generator," an innovation centre, will include special research laboratories for innovators, disruptors, and creative thinkers, providing them with a platform to reimagine the future.

An omnidirectional internal transportation system will connect the entire complex for a smooth travel experience. This will make it simple to access the upper levels, where you can find the houses and hotels, as well as climb to the rooftop gardens with their stunning views of the coast.
