Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans to construct the Oxagon port and logistics hub, slated to be the "world's largest floating structure," as a component of the Neom development initiative.
Part of the Neom project, located in the northeast of Saudi Arabia, Oxagon will emerge as a pivotal port city along the Red Sea, strategically positioned to capitalize on shipping routes passing through the Suez Canal.
Oxagon's design features an octagonal layout, blending a section on land with a substantial portion extending into the Red Sea. The off-shore segment of the city, separated from the mainland by a shipping canal, is projected to be the "world's largest floating structure," according to Neom developers.
This floating city will be organized around water-filled squares interconnected by narrow canals, housing amenities such as a cruise terminal and an oceanographic research center. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated, "Oxagon will serve as a catalyst for economic expansion and diversification within Neom and the Kingdom, aligning with our aspirations under Vision 2030."
