Trojena (styled TROJENA; Arabic: تروجينا) is a mountain tourism destination under construction in Neom, Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia. Trojena is one of the various announced regions of NEOM and will be located 50 km (31 mi) from the Gulf of Aqaba, covering a total area of 60 km2 (23 sq mi) with an elevation ranging from 1,500 to 2,600 m (4,900 to 8,500 ft) above sea level.[2] The tourism destination is part of Saudi Vision 2030 and set to be completed by 2026. The region aims to attract 700,000 visitors and 7,000 permanent residents by the year 2030. Trojena is expected to contribute to the Kingdom's GDP by $800 million and create 10,000 jobs.[3]
The tourist destination will consist of a ski village, a variety of restaurants and retail stores, ultra-luxury family and health resorts, in addition to sports activities such as mountain biking, ski slope, water sports, and an interactive nature reserve. According to the Saudi Press Agency, the all-year-round average temperature will be 10 °C (18 °F) below neighbouring regions, and will drop below zero during winter times.[4]
On 3 August 2022, the Saudi Arabian Olympic and Paralympic Committee (SOPC) submitted a letter of interest to the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) to host the 10th Asian Winter Games in Trojena.[5] On 5 October 2022, Saudi Arabia was officially chosen to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games at Trojena.[6]
