Dubai to open underwater theme park designed by art team behind Avatar and Pirates Of The Caribbean
Plans are moving forward to build the largest underwater tourism attraction in the world in Dubai.
The theme park is set to include scuba diving and snorkelling in a space modelled after the mythical Lost City of Atlantis.
To be developed by the same outfit that has designed sets for blockbuster movies like “Avatar” and “Pirates of the Caribbean,” the Pearl of Dubai is being billed as the largest sustainable underwater tourism site as it will stretch across five acres off the city coast.
Los Angeles-based underwater developer Reef Worlds made the official announcement last week.
The underwater attraction will be designed to excite the imagination with submerged ruins and references to a mythical, sunken empire.
The artificial reef, to be built in shallow waters of The World islands, will also aim to foster marine life with colonies of algae and soft corals.
The World is an artificial archipelago of small islands constructed to resemble a world map in Dubai.
Reef Worlds also has its eye on developing a similar theme park in the Philippines.
A completion date has yet to be announced.
