NEOM unveils Leyja, its latest sustainable tourism destination

NEOM unveils Leyja, its latest sustainable tourism destination
  • Starts along the Gulf of Aqaba coast and stretches inland through a valley surrounded by high mountains

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s NEOM unveiled on Sunday the latest addition to its portfolio of ecotourism developments, which is Leyja, that starts along the Gulf of Aqaba coast and stretches inland through a valley surrounded by 400-meter-high mountains.

This is a part of NEOM’s efforts to become a multifaceted destination, in line with the Kingdom’s ambitions to cultivate a strong and sustainable tourism industry under Vision 2030.

The development will preserve 95 percent of its area for nature, incorporating innovative ecological design and construction techniques.

 

The project includes three environmentally sustainable hotels which will provide 120 boutique rooms and suites.

The first property caters to adventure and mountaineering enthusiasts that ascends the valley’s walls like a staircase.

The second property will be located at the heart of the valley’s largest oasis while the third is an immersive wellness retreat.

Upon completion, Leyja will offer various experiences and activities, including fine dining, rooftop infinity-style pools, hiking and mountain biking.
