Who says living in the mountains can’t be luxurious?
Developers in Saudi Arabia announced plans on Wednesday for an “ultra-luxury upside-down skyscraper” wedged into a mountainside on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba that looks straight out of a science fiction movie.
The project, Aquellum, is billed as an underground city and tourist destination that “will offer guests a taste of futuristic life through its various pioneering experiences,” according to NEOM, the same developer that proposed building the 75-mile indoor city.

Digital renderings of the avant-garde project show a 330-foot-tall open ecosystem filled with high-end shops, performance shows and galleries, as well as an abundance of greenery and natural light, despite being almost completely hidden within the 1,500-foot-tall mountain range.
The exclusive destination is so well disguised that guests have to be transported from the floating marina to Aquellum via an underground canal.
Once inside, visitors will be met with a “digital community” complete with relaxation areas and innovative hubs, NEOM said.

One such area has been dubbed “The Generator”, a space consisting of various laboratories built to host scientists and researchers.
Virtual reality is a key component of Aquellum — the mockup shows guests wearing VR glasses and watching digital light cubes dance across an open ecosystem.
“Aquellum represents a futuristic ecosystem harmoniously integrated in the natural environment,” said NEOM.

While broadly innovative, this cube-shaped city isn’t the most eccentric development NEOM has revealed in recent years.
In 2022, the company unveiled “The Line,” a 75-mile-long landscaped city wrapped in mirrors that will stand taller than New York’s Empire State Building.
The $1 trillion mega-development will include an artificial ski resort, as well as robots and AI for the project’s residents.
NEOM is led by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
