Neom Bay Airport (IATA: NUM, ICAO: OENN) is a regional airport located near Sharma in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Saudi Arabia. It serves as the primary air access point for the NEOM development zone, a massive futuristic city and tourism project being developed along the Red Sea coast and Gulf of Aqaba. The airport was developed to support the influx of workers, contractors, and eventually tourists connected to the NEOM megaproject, which includes flagship developments such as THE LINE, Sindalah Island, and Trojena.
