How Saudi Arabia Is Building The Line — A 170 km Mirror City in the Desert

Saudi Arabia’s The Line is not just a city — it is a bold experiment rising straight from the desert floor. Stretching one hundred seventy kilometers and climbing five hundred meters into the sky, this mirrored megastructure challenges everything we know about how cities are built and powered.

In extreme heat and shifting sand, engineers are drilling tens of thousands of deep piles, pouring massive concrete foundations, and operating one of the largest groundwater control systems ever attempted. At the same time, vast solar fields and wind farms are being deployed to power an entire linear metropolis designed without traditional roads or cars.

Join Mandarin Tech as we step into the Saudi desert — uncovering how one nation is attempting to build the most ambitious city on Earth, transforming an impossible vision into a reality of steel, glass, and relentless engineering precision.
