The board of directors of NEOM said that Jaumur will be designed to serve the highest standards of future livability and active lifestyle. The new addition promises a unique blend of experiences on land and sea, complementing NEOM’s evolving regional development in northwest Saudi Arabia. Jaumur will be an exclusive residential community planned around an inspiring marina for more than 6,000 residents. Embedded into the varied topography of the Gulf of Aqaba coast, it will feature 500 marina apartments and nearly 700 luxury villas, offering waterfront access and private mooring. Two distinctive destination hotels in Jaumur will offer 350 luxurious rooms and suites, inviting guests to enjoy the breathtaking views and embrace all aspects of modern coastal hospitality and sporting activities. The marina will be the focal point of the development, the beating heart around which the community of Jaumur will thrive. A 1.5 km aerofoil rises above the largest of the yacht berths, providing year-round protection for yacht owners and a haven for the marina’s residents and guests. The aerofoil incorporates a gravity-defying cantilever to form a stunning entrance to the marina, welcoming the world’s largest superyachts. The marina promenade will be a place alive with entertainment, leisure and cultural experiences, hosting year-round arts events and performance programs, complemented by signature retail outlets and world-class dining options. Jaumur’s commitment to innovation and learning is embodied in the development’s state-of-the-art deep-sea research center and top-tier international boarding school. The research institute is dedicated to deep-sea exploration, welcoming established experts and ambitious pioneers to champion marine discovery, knowledge and conservation and establish NEOM as a world-leading center for oceanographic research. The international boarding school will prepare students for global achievement through an exclusive and progressive education delivered by a diverse international faculty of experts and innovators. Jaumur’s unique architectural design integrates water where golden sands meet the deep blue of the Gulf of Aqaba. It is a luxury destination to visit, explore, live and prosper: an opportunity to become part of a dynamic community. Jaumur follows the recent announcements of Leyja, Epicon, Siranna, Utamo, Norlana, Aquellum, Zardun, Xaynor, Elanan, Gidori and Treyam as sustainable tourism destinations on the Gulf of Aqaba, all woven together by NEOM’s commitment to sustainable progress.
