1&2) Oxagon is a small community. There are around 210 1BR cabins in the community. The cabins have a living area with a couch, internet-connected tv, a mini-kitchen with a stovetop, sink, drying-wrack, and a dining table that can seat 4. There's also a refrigerator and bottled water cooler/heater. The cabins come with several place-settings for the table, some glassware and some teacups. Each cabin also has two outdoor seats and a table for when you want to sit outside.
All in all, it is pretty comfortable.
The community itself has a dining hall, a few tennis courts, a basketball court, a clinic, a mini-mart and a pharmacy. Word is that there will also be a small salon but there is no idea when that will open. Half of the community has shared green space with seats and benches between cabins. The other half will be getting these soon. There are a few tennis courts, a basketball court, a gym, 2 beach volleyball courts and a nice plaza with a big tv that seems to always play football. The community also is on the red sea, which is quite nice.
The town of Duba is about 30 mins or so away and it is an hour ride to Neom Bay Airport, about 90 mins or so to NC1 and 3 hours to Tabuk. There are busses that take you to the airport in NUM and TUU, as well as a weekly bus to Duba, and to the mall at TUU.
As far as community goes, it is a little quiet here. There aren't as many events here as there are in the other camps, but there aren't as many people. There are small groups around that will go hiking or organize a trip to Aqaba.

3) Depends on the job.

All of this has been covered in the other neom threads. You may want to check those strings out.

Are all people involved in oxagon project going to be accommodated in Oxagon village or there's a chance they will live and work in NC1/2?

First, I can tell you that Duba is safe for everyone.
As far as amenities, I'm not sure, but I will ask around. Is this through Neom or is it through a consultant?

I asked around and the summary is that the Neom apartments in Duba are newly refurbished and "pretty western."
HR / Onboarding should have some pictures to share with you.

Oxagon has been hiring pretty consistently under the Neom banner for a while but is now a separate, wholly owned subsidiary trading on its own name. The roles here are going to be for supply chain, the industrial village, the port and the projects team building those things and the residential areas around them.

Does anyone know what is the standard of accommodation in the external facilities of oxagon that is provided in lieu of places in oxagon itself?
Do managers get a studio or 1 bedroom cabin or whatever is available?

From what I’ve heard, if there is no space in Oxagon, you are assigned to SBC (Southern Business Community). If there is nothing there, you are assigned an apartment in Duba. I hear these are newly refurbished studio apartments.
Not certain what the accommodation in SBC is but haven’t heard any complaints, either.

As far as who gets what, it is first come first served as the accommodations are pretty much uniform, with the focus as getting all employees together.
