Abstract

Seemingly NEOM city's developers have forgotten about an attractive technology called Metaverse, presented almost simultaneously along with the NEOM idea in . This study stipulates that Metaverse can appreciably assist in delivering a broad digital perspective of the future to governments, futurologists, people, and particularly the NEOM developers. Also, this study briefly addresses the benefits and opportunities of releasing Metaverse‐based NEOM for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), engineers, developers, futurologists, and people worldwide. Moreover, it is illustrated that KSA and people worldwide can benefit from the Metaverse version. For example, people can visit the world's dream city as digital tourists. As a result of this revolutionary idea, KSA can earn considerable revenue by land pre‐selling and providing remote services.
