Trojena is set to be a destination where nature meets technology, sprinkled with architectural wonders. It is located 50 km away from the Gulf of Aqaba coast. The mountainous region covers an area of roughly 60 square kilometres, and elevations range from 1,500m to 2,600m.

With a year-round moderate climate (cooler on average than the rest of the area), the NEOM website emphasises Trojena experiences sub-zero winter temperatures. It offers fresh air, panoramic views, and adventure sports—a combination so good that you simply cannot miss.
