re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

My answers are related to living at NC1. I can't speak for the other camps as I've never lived there.

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

Without having visited NC2 myself and based on what I’ve heard, yes, the barking would...

re: NEOM Job Thread - for all questions about jobs/working at NEOM

Depends what your field is.

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM
