NEOM Port located in "Oxagon", Tabuk Province, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is the nearest port to the Suez Canal, which is 257 NM apart from the port. It was inaugurated in 1995 under the name "Duba Port," which was renamed "NEOM Port" in 2023 following the transfer of Duba Port management from the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) to NEOM.
The port spans over eleven million m, with an estimated capacity of about ten million t annually. It is considered the closest to reaching new markets due to its closeness to the Mediterranean ports. Additionally, it serves as a connecting link between the northwest area of the Kingdom and the global economy.
